The high-tech protest is taking a step forward following the legal reform:
certain high-tech companies informed employees today (Sunday) that they can participate in the protest according to their conscience, which will be held this Tuesday.
Among the companies are the following companies: Assaf Rapaport's wiz, Natural Intelligence, Radis, Lemonade Active, Implements, Brex, Algo Sq, INX, Cheq, Hello hearForter, Cheetah technologies, Honeybuck 6Meat.
The End, Luminescent, Shaul Olmert's Piggy, Clew medical
Dizz, Trax and Cyera.
At the same time, Asaf Rapaport, CEO of Wiz, wrote on his Facebook page: "I will also protest against the regime change with the date and hours of the protest."

The letter written to the male and female workers reads: "I assume that you are aware of the public discourse about the legal reform and also of the protest it provoked. We have male and female workers with diverse opinions in the company and we always include and respect every person regardless of who they are. This Tuesday, time 11:00 There will be an hour-long strike/demonstration in the Sharona complex of organizations and companies, which has also been joined by employees of the high-tech companies. We as a company will allow the strike/demonstration of workers who wish to do so - each and every one according to the dictates of their conscience and opinion."
In the letter they wrote to the prime minister-designate, they demanded that he maintain the status quo in Israeli society and stop the ever-increasing snowball which, according to them, will ultimately severely damage the Israeli economy and drive away investors from Europe and the United States.

"We, entrepreneurs and founders of start-up companies in Israel, investors and managers of venture capital funds, turn to you with concern in view of the devastating consequences for the economy in general, and the high-tech industry in particular, that may arise from the legislative moves taking place these days in the Knesset," the entrepreneurs wrote in the letter.
"As citizens, we respect the results of the recent elections that reflect the will of the people and believe that you as Prime Minister will act in the interest of all the citizens of Israel. However, harming the status of the court, as well as harming the rights of minorities based on religion, race, gender or sexual orientation - will be A real existential threat to the magnificent high-tech industry that has been built in Israel with great effort, over the past three decades."
The workers' headquarters announced that: "We will hold a demonstration of the high-tech industry, in favor of a democratic Israel and an independent court, which are essential for the continued prosperity of our industry, the economy of the country we love and its security." Exact locations will be provided tomorrow.
We will recall that last month over 100 high-tech people signed a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which they warned that the promotion of discriminatory legislation would harm the local high-tech industry and alienate international investors.
