Employees can make donations to four organizations: the American Civil Liberties Union, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, the International Rescue Committee and the UNHCR.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the campaign in a memo. He also claimed the immigration ban will affect at least 187 Google employees.
