Friend,

HUGE NEWS: Workers at seven Amazon facilities have gone on strike!(1)

For two years, the billionaire owners of Amazon have refused to make a
union contract with members of the Amazon Labor Union. Now they can’t
ignore these workers -- especially when they’ve walked out during the
busiest season of the year.

[ [link removed] ]We want to support striking Amazon workers so they can keep up the
fight, and we need to be ready to show them California’s support in 2025.
Will you donate? Your gift will be split 50/50 between Amazon Labor Union
and Courage California.

Amazon is treating its employees worse than ever before -- too often
leaving them broke, injured and sick -- and blatantly disregarding
American labor law. Amazon workers are twice as likely to be injured on
the job as other warehouse workers.(2)

And when they do get hurt, they’re too often silenced, denied adequate
medical care, and discarded by the world’s richest corporation.(3)

This summer, the Amazon Labor Union joined forces with the Teamsters, and
they gave Amazon a deadline to come to the table. Amazon missed that
deadline, so the workers have walked out.

The average pay for an Amazon is about $20 an hour, and they need to be
able to sustain their families throughout this strike. Amazon Labor Union
has started a fund to do just that. Will you chip in to help those workers
-- and Courage California’s work to stop Amazon’s shady anti-union tactics
once and for all?

[ [link removed] ]Please give today to help striking workers!. Your donation will be
split 50/50 between Amazon Labor Union and Courage California.

Thank you for being with us.

–Irene, along with Annie, Angela, Isidra, Cecilia, Jen, and Lindsay (the
Courage team)
