Verified letter invites Google and OpenAI staff to oppose AI misuse

Feb 28th 2026

A citizen-organized petition asks verified current and former Google and OpenAI employees to sign a public letter about potential AI misuse, with options for anonymous signing and documented verification and data practices.

  • Current and former Google and OpenAI employees are invited to sign a citizen-organized letter and may sign anonymously.
  • Every signature is verified before publication using company email confirmation or manual proof, with automatic de-duplication for non-anonymous entries.
  • If you sign anonymously, your personal data is deleted within 24 hours and only one organizer can view identities during that window.
  • Organizers say they are unaffiliated with political groups or AI companies and describe the letter as a way to find common ground on the DoW issue.
  • The site is hosted on Fly.io with an encrypted SQLite database, uses Resend for verification emails and Google Forms as an option, runs an open-source Flask app behind Cloudflare, and does not include analytics scripts.
