John,

While billions of us are in lockdown, the world’s richest man is forcing
scared employees to work in warehouses -- where coronavirus outbreaks are
rife.

Amazon workers are begging their CEO Jeff Bezos to close the warehouses
for deep cleaning and give proper sick pay.

Bezos’ response? If you stay at home, you risk your paycheck.

That’s an impossible choice for low-paid workers. And that’s how Amazon’s
boss is making this pandemic worse -- Bezos is a super-spreader.

Right now Bezos can enjoy a luxury quarantine in his D.C mansion. If you
chip in today we’ll surround his home with scathing mobile billboards,
until he lets up. 

He won’t be able to look out the window without seeing your message.

to win proper sick pay for Amazon workers to help end the crisis.


I appreciate this isn’t an easy time financially for many people.

We’re all doing the best we can to get through each day, follow the rules
and keep each other safe.

But if you can afford to donate, this is a direct, practical way to
overturn the dangerous policies of one of the biggest corporations in the
world. Your donation will help stop Amazon spreading the virus.

to send a billboard to show Bezos that business as usual is over.


Now is the best possible moment to strike -- because Amazon workers are
striking too.

Amazon’s tech workers are lending their support to warehouse and delivery
teams. Now it’s up to us to build the pressure to boiling point. A mobile
billboard at Jeff Bezos’ mansion is a brilliant way to do that.

Mobile billboards outside insurance companies got them to pull support for
the gigantic Adani coal mine in Australia. And doing the same outside
Liverpool FC’s football stadium in England got them to dump dodgy
sponsors.

In a few seconds, you can chip in a donation that sends a huge billboard
to bother Bezos -- and wins sick pay for all Amazon workers.

Sitting at home doesn’t have to feel powerless!

Thanks for all that you do,
Vicky and the team at SumOfUs
