Dear Green American,

Amazon's dark side just keeps coming to light, and it's time we take a stand. As Green Americans, we vote with our dollars for a green economy, which means withholding our money from companies that harm workers and the planet.

Join consumers, workers, and a whole bunch of Green Americans to create a massive Twitter Storm on July 11, the day of Amazon's Prime Day.

Here are a couple of sample tweets to get you started:

Hey @amazon, your workers are being injured at twice the industry average. They want fair treatment and an end to unfair labor practices. Are you going to listen to the people that keep your warehouses running? #SkipPrimeDay

We are in a climate emergency, and @amazon is greenwashing. It has made grand climate pledges, but its carbon emissions have skyrocketed 18% when that should be decreasing. What’s the deal? #SkipPrimeDay

Here’s why:

Senator Bernie Sanders is investigating Amazon's unfair and unsafe labor practices. In his letter to Amazon, the senator described conditions at Amazon’s warehouses as “uniquely dangerous” and pointed to a report that found the company’s serious injury rate in 2021 was double the warehouse industry average of the same year.i
Amazon workers from the United States to Germany are putting their foot down, demanding fair treatment and an end to their company's unfair labor practices.
Questionable circumstances surround workers deaths at Amazon facilities: four workers died last year within a month. And this year, another worker died while working at the company’s cross-dock facility. A 911 call showed dehydration as the only cited cause for the fatal medical emergency.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is suing Amazon for making it ridiculously hard to cancel Prime memberships.
Brace yourself for this one: Amazon's carbon emissions have skyrocketed by a mind-boggling 18%, despite their grand climate pledges.

Remember, together we have the power to shake things up. Let's show Amazon who's the boss! Join us on July 11 for the Twitter Storm.

Together, we'll make a difference.
