Join workers and organizers from across New York City, and the Rude Mechanical Orchestra, to demand that Amazon cut their contracts with ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and pay a living wage. At 8:30am we will gather in Bryant Park by the Joseph Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain to hear some words from workers affected by Amazon's abuse before marching together to Jeff Bezos' penthouse at 212 Fifth Avenue.
Invite your friends, family, union siblings, and anyone who knows that two day delivery doesn't make up for war crimes and worker abuse.
Many recognize Amazon as the retail giant violently mistreating workers, undercutting small businesses, furthering rampant consumerism, and polluting the environment. But behind the scenes, Amazon Web Services (AWS - Amazon's largest profit center) is also the digital backbone for ICE, Palantir, and government surveillance.
Amazon actively makes every New Yorker's life worse by delivering poverty, layoffs, price hikes, surveillance, and more. Join us to tell Amazon that the working class is fighting back - we won't stand by as Amazon profits, while we pay the price.
Demand that Amazon drop contracts with ICE and CBP, and pay a living wage.
