Friend,
In just a few days, we're heading to the doors of Amazon's biggest shareholders for a Day of Action to elevate our demands ahead of its Annual Shareholder Meeting.
Are you coming? We're organizing in New York City, Philly, Los Angeles, DC, and Chicago with our partners at the Athena Coalition. Find an event in your area.
From Ring to Rekognition to Amazon Web Services (AWS), surveillance tools are fundamentally designed to reinforce anti-Black ideologies and are a threat to the safety and dignity of our people.
This week, Amazon will have to explain how its contracts with police have created outrageous profits while supplying the tools for a surveillance state that continues to harm our communities.
Join organizers, activists, and community members across several cities on Monday, May 24 for a Day of Action before Amazon's Annual Shareholder Meeting to make our demands known to Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street, Fidelity, and T. Rowe Price before they vote on the future of the company.
RSVP for the Shareholder Day of Action here.
One day of action isn't enough. Even though Amazon recently extended its moratorium on police use of facial recognition, we won't stop until all surveillance technologies are banned for good. Will you help us keep up the momentum for a permanent ban?
Here are 3 ways you can support the #EyesOnAmazon campaign.
- DONATE to MediaJustice to make sure we have the resources to keep holding Amazon accountable. Even $10 goes far, and is the most direct way to affect change!
- RSVP for the Week of Action (June 7 — June 11) to make sure you get reminders and the latest updates.
- SIGN the Petition to tell Amazon it's #PrimeTime to stop policing us.
In Solidarity,
Myaisha Hayes
Campaign Strategies Director
