This employee-led rally was attended by Google cofounder Sergey Brin, who addressed the crowd about his own experiences: Brin's family came here as refugees from the USSR when he was a child, at the height of the Cold War. His remarks, as captured on YouTube by a Googler in attendance, take many jabs at President Trump's policies.
"So many people were obviously outraged by this order, as am I myself, being an immigrant and a refugee," Bring told the crowd.
"I’m glad to see the energy here today and around the world to know that people are fighting for what’s right out there," Brin continued.
"I think it’s important to not frame this debate as being 'liberal' versus 'Republican' and so forth," Brin told the crowd. "It’s a debate about fundamental values, about thoughtful policymaking and many of the other things that I think are — apparently not universally adored — but I think the vast majority of our country and of our legislators and so forth support."
You can read a transcript of Brin's full remarks below, where he calls for unity — and makes a joke about sporting a "Pence 2017" bumper sticker, which could be taken as a veiled call for Congress to impeach President Trump.
