Recall that every time in the past two years Googlers have walked out, or credibly threatened to, you got immediate concessions. Hang a banner on the outside of the Googleplex. Do literally anything visible to the public.

My plea to Googlers is: move this debate from internal meme boards to where it is physically outdoors. Let people, including people in Hong Kong, see you fighting for them. They would march for you. https://twitter.com/...
