Free speech activists led by Jack Posobiec to march against Google next week

Alt-right protesters are planning a “March On Google” next week, following the US tech giant’s firing of an employee over his internal company memo discussing gender differences in the workforce, the media reported.

We will thus be Marching on Google!” **James Damore** , a software engineer at Google, was fired this week after he circulated a controversial anti-diversity memo.  Google CEO Sundar Pichai said Damore’s memo violated the company’s code of conduct. This news comes hours after Sundar Pichai reportedly  **cancelled a town hall meeting**  to allay fears over the manifesto and addressed a coding event for women on the campus. “I want you to know there’s a place for you in this industry. There’s a place for you at Google. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You belong here, and we need you,” said a report in The Verge on Friday, quoting Pichai. With inputs from IANS
