Google’s biggest event of the year, the I/O 2014 developers conference in San Francisco, was interrupted today by a stark reminder of the growing class divide in the city: a protester shouting about evictions allegedly caused by a Google employee. The protester, whose identity has yet to be confirmed, began shouting in the middle of Android engineering director Dave Burke’s talk at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. She held up a T-shirt that read “develop a conscience, stop Jack Halprin,” as seen in the photo above and below.
