A group of current and former Microsoft employees, along with community members, occupied a plaza at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, for a No Azure for Apartheid protest. They renamed the plaza 'The Martyred Palestinian Children's Plaza' and set up artistic tributes to those affected in Gaza. The demonstration featured a negotiating table inviting Microsoft executives to discuss the company's military partnerships. The group expressed intentions to occupy the area until removed forcefully, while Microsoft has not yet issued a response.
On Tuesday, a group of current and former Microsoft employees, as well as community members, took over a plaza at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, as part of a No Azure for Apartheid protest.
They declared the area a 'Liberated Zone' encampment and said they had changed its name from East Campus Plaza to 'The Martyred Palestinian Children's Plaza.'
The protesters set up tents and artistic homages to the losses in Gaza, including shrouds and a large plate that reads 'Stop Starving Gaza.'
The group says it plans to occupy the plaza until they are forcibly removed. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
