Meta is planning to lay off around 8,000 employees and cut thousands more roles — affecting about 10% of its workforce.

At the same time, the company plans to double its AI spending to $135 billion in 2026.

This sends a clear message:
Massive investment in AI is being prioritized while workers lose their jobs.

Employees who helped build the company are now facing layoffs as part of cost-cutting tied to these investments.

This is not just a business decision — it affects thousands of families and raises broader concerns about how companies balance innovation with responsibility to their workforce.

We call on:

Meta leadership
to prioritize workers’ jobs, job security, and wellbeing instead of funding AI expansion at their expense.

Sign to say: invest in people—not just AI.
