Hi,

Children are languishing in cages, families are being ripped apart, and
too often held in sub-standard living conditions. And Amazon isn't just
complicit in this, they're profiting from it.

Amazon's AWS servers form the backbone of ICE's detention and deportation
operations. But the tech giant refuses to budge. [ [link removed] ]Tell Amazon enough is
enough: stop powering ICE!

Even Amazon's own employees are standing on the side of activists just
like you and calling on the tech giant to cut ties with ICE. But Amazon
executives would rather dodge responsibility than lift a finger to end a
humanitarian disaster that is ICE's detention and deportation machine.^1
They argue that they don’t have a role in how their tech is deployed, and
they're dead wrong.

Amazon executives want everyone – customers, companies, and governments –
to keep buying Amazon services and look the other way. But we can't do
that while thousands of families are still locked in cages.

Demand Progress has long worked to hold government and corporations
accountable for how they use technology, especially when it comes to the
national security and immigration agencies. But this is an extremely
urgent moment. We don't have a moment to lose.

[ [link removed] ]Amazon isn't neutral in our current immigrant rights crisis, they're
allowing it to continue by providing tech infrastructure to ICE. Tell
Amazon: Stop powering ICE!

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
