Today’s Action: Boycott Amazon companies TODAY for Prime Day
Today is the second day of Prime Day, Amazon’s annual blow-out sale (and now semi-desperate mini-music festival). Low prices – the lowest – and free shipping! How do they do it??
Answer #1: Off the backs of Amazon fulfillment center employees facing some of the worst working conditions and anti-union environments in the country.
Answer #2: Thanks to lucrative contracts with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), hosting the databases that DHS uses to track down and apprehend immigrants. Those concentration camps at our border? You can credit them for 20% off your new juicer!
#GrabYourWallet today in support of Amazon warehouse workers and immigrants in concentration camps. Boycott all purchases and engagement with all Amazon companies: Amazon.com, Audible, Kindle, Book Depository, IMDb, GoodReads, Whole Foods, Comixology, and Twitch.tv.
Corporate culture can make us feel, as individuals, helpless to enact change. This helplessness is a MYTH taught to us by those who are wealthy, those who are currently in charge. It’s a myth that is vital to keeping capitalism in place, keeping stock prices high, keeping institutions intact.
We’ve seen two and a half years of the power of individuals who decide on their own to take action – the result being a Democratic House of Representatives, DACA in place, statewide response to climate change and gun safety, felon voter rights restored in Florida, the resignation of multiple White House employees…and the shutdown of Ivanka Trump’s fashion brand.
That last bullet point? That was consumers, as individuals, deciding to #GrabYourWallet and take their money elsewhere. Amazon is huge, yes, but they are fully capable of changing their policies with enough consumer pressure. So today and tomorrow, add your voice to the movement and boycott.
Tell Amazon you don’t support their efforts to capture and cage migrants and crush workers rights with the language they know best: money. Today, on the second day of Prime Day, boycott all Amazon companies: Amazon.com, Kindle, Book Depository, IMDb, GoodReads, Whole Foods, Comixology, and Twitch.tv.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition to tell Twitter it’s time to ban ALL white supremacists from its platform, and check out the brilliant “Don’t Think of an Elephant” by George Lakoff — a quick read that contains the ultimate keys for Democrats to win elections — and arguments.
