    The Message

    Tell Texas Governor Abbott: Stop your war on migrants and refugees at the border. Stop using Cobwebs Technologies’ Israeli apartheid tech to harm families.

    Dear Governor Abbott,

    We should be extending compassion for those fleeing war, climate disaster, political punishment, and more. We are not at war with migrants and refugees, you are. Stop exploiting the idea of an "invasion" on our border and stop using Cobwebs Technologies, tech developed by former IDF, to surveil any of us.

    Texas’ Governor, Greg Abbott, has launched what appears to be a full-on border war against migrants and refugees.

    These are our people: children and families who, like so many others, came to the U.S. to find safety and a better life for themselves and their loved ones.  

    Abbott is using the idea of an “invasion” of migrants to launch a multibillion-dollar “Operation Lone Star” to imprison and harm people on the border.¹

    One tech company is aiding this war against migrants and refugees: Cobwebs Technologies — a surveillance tech company co-founded by Israeli intelligence members.²

    Using technology to target already endangered families that are seeking safety is wrong.

    It’s wrong in Palestine, and it’s wrong here.

    We know that Palestinians under Israeli occupation are among the most surveilled people in the world. And history tells us that if new surveillance tech is being introduced in the U.S., odds are it will be used to surveil U.S. Muslims, Arabs, and activists of all backgrounds. 

    Sign our petition to tell Greg Abbott: stop targeting immigrant families with Israeli apartheid tech.
