John,

At least 100 children *every single day* have been killed or injured in Gaza since Israel broke the ceasefire earlier this year. Gaza has more children who’ve lost a limb than anywhere else in the world and an entire population on the brink of famine. 

Israel’s relentless bombardment and aid blocks are annihilating Palestinians – and Microsoft is helping make this horror possible, supplying the Israeli military with the AI and tech to coordinate airstrikes that erase whole neighbourhoods and kill tens of thousands.

We can change that.

Microsoft is hosting its annual tech conference. This is our chance to amplify the voices of its employees and industry leaders, and force Microsoft execs to respond. But we need your help.

Our plans are big. If enough of us chip in, we can make it happen: working to mobilize turnout, print materials, secure equipment, buy targeted ads and reach out to journalists and influencers who can help us get the word out. All of these things cost money – not to mention all the research and legal costs that go into planning and delivering the campaign. Together we can make this TOO BIG for Microsoft to ignore.

Let's be the force that tips Microsoft to divest from Israel’s military, and helps end this genocide. Can you chip in?

About half of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are children. Many are at critical risk of famine, and those who survive must now bear the deep and invisible scars of war – many of them alone. 

Yet leaked documents confirm Microsoft is providing *millions of dollars* worth of tech to Israel's military: from tech to develop cutting-edge spy technology to the databases that store target information for lethal airstrikes. One of the tools offered is OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Microsoft, which is the largest investor in OpenAI, claims they are developing AI for the greater good – but its partnership with the Israeli military tells a different story.

Microsoft's own employees have been urging the company to sever its ties, and the public is behind them. Our petition is nearing 100,000 signatures and news reports say the pressure on Microsoft is 'close to a tipping point'. 

If we move quickly, we can amplify our collective voices, and put these execs in the hot seat at their own conference. They'll have no choice but to respond. 

Every little bit counts. Can you chip in to help make it happen – and end the suffering of Palestinians?

P.S. After an incredible global public pressure campaign in the 1980s, Microsoft divested from South Africa’s racist apartheid. It was a huge win in the movement to end apartheid and the company still celebrates its action today. Let’s show Microsoft it can be a world leader for Palestinian and human rights once more!
