Never Again pledge

The Never Again pledge or NeverAgain.tech is a commitment by information technology workers to work against a United States government database identifying people by race, religion, or national origin, specifically in response to the Trump presidential campaign statements about creating a Muslim registry and deporting millions of illegal immigrants.

[1][2][3][4][5][6] The pledge was placed online on December 13, 2016[1] and had gathered more than 1,300 technology worker signatures two days later,[6] including employees of Amazon.com, Apple Inc., Google, and Microsoft.

[3][5] The online release was intended to anticipate the meeting of Silicon Valley executives with Trump on December 14.

[7] The name of the pledge, "never again", refers to the historical use of IBM information technology in World War II to enable the internment of Japanese Americans in the United States and the Holocaust and use of Nazi concentration camps in Germany.

[1] Computerworld magazine wrote, and Aurora admitted, that the action of publicly signing the pledge could put tech workers at risk of losing their jobs, especially those with security clearances.
