Work at Google Summer of Code? Know someone who does?

You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Google Summer of Code or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.

Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
