Tell Congress: No to Amazon HQ on sacred Indigenous land

Green American,

South African Indigenous peoples -- the Khoi and San -- have battled colonialism for over 500 years. Now they face a new challenge: Amazon is currently developing a new 70,000-square meter facility on their sacred land!

So we are joining our allies in speaking up.

The area is a source of pride and cultural heritage, which also survived decades of oppression under apartheid. The earliest to inhabit that land, the Khoi and San people, are now up against corporate America. 

Amazon knows the site has historical, cultural, and environmental significance, but they want to destroy and build on it anyway.

If US elected officials publicly denounce this HQ project, Amazon will face an international political and PR nightmare. Activists here in the US successfully blocked an Amazon HQ in New York City. Together we can show solidarity with Indigenous activists and help block this new Amazon HQ in South Africa.

Sign our allies' petition: Urge Congress to denounce Amazon's plan to build a HQ on sacred indigenous land in South Africa!

For a healthy planet,
