Read Google’s email to employees after Supreme Court ruling on abortion

Google’s chief people officer Fiona Cicconi sent a staff-wide email to employees informing them of Google’s response to the recent ruling of the US Supreme Court that overturned the right to a legal abortion established by Roe vs Wade case in 1973. The email says, “This is a profound change for the country that deeply effects so many of us, especially women.” It further tells employees that they can “apply for relocation without justification”. Here’s the email as it appeared on The Verge website.

This morning the US Supreme Court issued a ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that rolls back Roe v. Wade.

This is a profound change for the country that deeply affects so many of us, especially women. Everyone will respond in their own way, whether that’s wanting space and time to process, speaking up, volunteering outside of work, not wanting to discuss it at all, or something else entirely. Please be mindful of what your co-workers may be feeling and, as always, treat each other with respect.
