There's an Amazon protest going on now! Please boycott if you can, though I understand many can't or don't have the spoons to

Make Amazon Pay

We are workers and citizens divided by geography and our role in the global economy but united in our commitment to Make Amazon Pay fair wag

Amazon is one of the most powerful corporations in history.

It is remaking how the economy works in the 21st century squeezing every last drop it can at every turn. The Amazon business model:

Squeezes workers: While tripling profits in early 2024, Amazon surveils and pressures drivers and warehouse workers at the risk of severe physical and mental harm.

Squeezes communities:  While Amazon drained 2 billion US dollars from US communities to build new data centres, Jeff Bezos moved to Miami to save 600 million US dollars in taxes.

Squeezes the planet: While Amazon plans to deploy 465,000 new, energy-hungry AI servers each year, most of them won’t be powered by renewable electricity. From Black Friday to Cyber Monday (29 November to 2 December) we are uniting across the globe for one thing: to Make Amazon Pay. 

We, workers, activists and citizens, will be rising up everywhere on the busiest shopping days of the year to fight Amazon’s exploitation of workers, our communities and the planet.

Our success will shape the global economy in the 21st century. Together, we have the power to Make Amazon Pay. Join us and take action.

The Make Amazon Pay campaign brings together over 80 organisations working towards labour, tax, climate, data and racial justice, and over 400 parliamentarians and tens of thousands of supporters from across the world. Since 2020, we have organized four global days of action on Black Friday — each time growing our planetary movement to stop Amazon squeezing workers, communities and the planet. And in October 2023, we organized our first-ever Summit to Make Amazon Pay in Manchester, UK.

For workers and consumers, the price of everything is going up. And for everyone, the global temperature is rising and our planet is under stress. But instead of supporting its workers, communities and the planet, Amazon is squeezing every last drop it can.

Amazon squeezes workers: real wages are going down while the corporation rakes in record revenue - $121bn for the second quarter of 2022 - and doubles down on its union-busting tactics;

Amazon squeezes communities: paying no income tax in Europe in 2021 and instead was paid €1bn in tax credits on €55 billion sales;

Amazon squeezes our planet: despite including only 1% of all product sales in its carbon accounting, the corporation’s CO2 emissions rose by 18% in 2021.

We are workers and citizens divided by geography and our role in the global economy but united in our commitment to Make Amazon Pay fair wages, its taxes and for its impact on the planet.

“If Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos gave every Amazon worker a $105,000 pandemic bonus, he’d still be as rich as he was at the start of Coronavirus. Amazon takes too much and gives back too little. It’s time to #MakeAmazonPay https://t.co/roBSn8n076”

I’d intended to share this Monday but it’s still important to be aware of @google and @amazon and their complicity in facilitating the oppression of Palestinians. Repost from @adalahjusticeproject • Today — not only #CyberMonday, but also International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People — is the perfect time to join over 1,000 Google and Amazon workers and 55 organizations in demanding these companies terminate their Israeli government contracts. These fictionalized reviews, based on real-life stories, show the devastating impact that Google and Amazon’s cloud services have on Palestinians’ daily lives. Through their $1 billion Project Nimbus contract — which both companies signed right after the Israeli military bombed Gaza for 11 days straight in in May — Amazon and Google are strenghtening Israel’s military occupation and apartheid rule. The Israeli government can use this cloud technology to surveil and criminalize Palestinians, expand illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, and inflict even more violence on Palestinians in Gaza.
