A global coalition of employees of the Microsoft Corporation is demanding that a contract for work with the U.S. Army be dropped.
Sign your name in support.
The employees have sent an open letter to both the CEO and the president/chief legal officer of Microsoft. Here are some highlights:
■ "We are alarmed that Microsoft is working to provide weapons technology to the U.S. Military, helping one country's government 'increase lethality' using tools we built. We did not sign up to develop weapons, and we demand a say in how our work is used."
