Thousands of Google employees take to the streets to protest Trump's immigration ban

Thousands of Google employees walked out in protest of US President Donald Trump’s ban on immigration.Reports suggest that there are about 2000 employees participating in the protest, and these include Google top brass like Sunder Pichai and Sergei Brin, both of whom are technically immigrants.Using the #GooglersUnite tag, these employees are tweeting out photos and videos of their walkout, reports The Verge. A number of tech companies have protested Trump’s order banning immigrants and Google, among others, has set up a $4 million fund for immigrants. This fund includes $2 million contributed by Google’s own employees. Insiders have told The Verge that this was a spontaneous protest organised by Google employees. The protest has the full backing of the company, however. The company, headquartered in Mountain View, California, employs over 57,000 and hires talented individuals from all over the world. Trump’s immigration ban affects more than just its employees. In fact, Google’s corporate code of conduct states that the company’s unofficial motto is, “Do the right thing.”
