SEE ALSO: Lyft pledges $1 million ACLU donation in response to Trump's #MuslimBanAfter Donald Trump signed an executive order to restrict immigrants and refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries, Google has created a $2 million crisis fund that can be matched by up to $2 million in donations from employees. This is the company's largest humanitarian campaign to date.
The fund is for four organisations: the ACLU, Immigrant Resource Center, International Rescue Committee and Mercy Corps. Several other Google executives have also individually donated to ACLU and other organizations, though they haven't been identified in the report.
The move comes after Google CEO Sundar Pichai strongly objected Trump’s immigration ban in an internal memo. Co-founder Sergey Brin also participated in a protest at San Francisco International Airport over the weekend, although in personal capacity.
