SEARCH engine giant Google has launched its largest crisis campaign in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s immigration ban.
Google has created a $US2 million ($A2.6 million) crisis fund that can be matched with up to $US2 million ($A2.6 million) in donations from employees, totalling $US4 million ($A5.3 million), for four organisations: the American Civil Liberties Union, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, International Rescue Committee and UNHCR.
Separately, company executives are also giving money individually to the cause.
The campaign was disclosed in a memo sent by Google CEO Sundar Pichai and confirmed by a Google spokeswoman, USA Today reports.
Executives at Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Uber, Airbnb and Tesla Motors have also denounced the policy, which was temporarily stalled by a federal judge in New York.
Starbucks Corp Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz has also that the company planned to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in 75 countries, two days after President Trump’s executive order banned refugees from certain countries.
