My name is Ryan Brown, I’m the President of Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity & Empowerment (CAUSE), based out of the Raleigh-Durham warehouse (RDU1).

We just filed petitions with the National Labor Relations Board requesting an election to become the first unionized Amazon fulfillment center in the South, and only the second in the United States!

Amazon must have known this was coming, because last month, they fired me. It was right before the holiday rush, which means the warehouse was understaffed during the busiest part of the year.

I was the third CAUSE organizer fired in the past year. We’re not backing down. We’re going to fight, and we’re going to win.

Amazon workers are riding high on the groundswell of support during the Amazon Teamsters strike before Christmas. And we can tell you―it has Amazon scared.

CAUSE has been working hand-in-hand with The Labor Force to get to this point. They have been providing support and resources when no one else would. Can you split a solidarity donation between The Labor Force and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee to keep powering us through this election?

Nothing about this process has been easy. We’ve watched how Amazon treated worker-organizers in Bessemer, Alabama and our comrades at Amazon Labor Union. We’ve been learning lessons. And we’re ready to win.

But every union organizer knows that the best way to win is to have the support of the whole community behind you. Can you split a solidarity donation with The Labor Force today and help us win?

I want to thank the Progressive Change Campaign Committee for their solidarity in amplifying our message. Together, we will win!

In solidarity,

– Ryan Brown, President, Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity & Empowerment (CAUSE)
