A CancelRussia rally was held in California. Participants urged Silicon Valley not to cooperate with Russia
A CancelRussia rally was held in San Jose, California. This is reported by the publication "Voice of America". Participants demanded that Silicon Valley companies stop doing business in Russia and cut off ties with this country.
Although every day there are more and more companies that stop trading with Russia, and there are still those who do not. The protesters turned to them. In particular, they mentioned Salesforce, which still operates in Russia, and SAP, on which the systems of Gazprom and Sberbank depend. It has already announced that it is stopping sales in Russia, but, according to Forbes, it can affect customers in just a few years.

At the same time, everything is changing quite quickly: for example, during a rally, PayPal announced that it would not work in Russia yet. The day before, Microsoft suspended the sale of goods and services there. Oracle and the largest processor manufacturers, NVIDIA, TSMC, AMD, and Intel, did the same.
The San Jose City Council is also considering severing diplomatic ties with its twin city of Yekaterinburg.
