Twenty thousand Google employees around the world walked out of the company offices in November 2018 at 11:10 a.m. in order to protest the history of sexual harassment, discrimination, and racism within the company. On Wednesday May 1 at 11 a.m. Eastern Time, the organizers of last November’s walkout coordinated a sit-in across major US and international Google campuses to protest the company’s alleged retaliation against people who report workplace sexual harassment.

The organizers of the sit-in told Motherboard that participants are planning on reading retaliation stories in real time starting at 11 a.m. in order to help and encourage participation. The sit-in was organized by communicating with employees via internal mailing lists, they said.
