Friend,
We have a special invitation for you this Cyber Monday.
While Amazon is raking in billions of dollars off the backs of its
employees, Courage California will be leading a conversation with
representatives from grassroots and labor organizations across the state
about how we are making gains in stopping the mega retailer’s exploitive
worker practices.
[ [link removed] ]Will you join us on November 29 at 12 pm to help Deliver Us From
Amazon?
Amazon is decimating the workforce it employs as well as small businesses.
More than 160,000 businesses have closed during covid, while Amazon uses
algorithms to push small retailers down in search results and replicates
their products to sell itself.
The warehouses that Amazon builds are environmentally hazardous, and the
employees are held to unreasonable quotas that cause injuries at twice the
rate of the industry average. And average worker wages sink where Amazon
warehouses take hold.
That’s why we’ve joined a coalition of workers’ rights groups to stand up
to Amazon. Our town hall attendees will hear from speakers from
organizations including:
* The Warehouse Worker Resource Center
* Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability
* United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5
* Center on Policy Initiatives
* Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy
On Cyber Monday, you can join our Amazon boycott and get involved with a
statewide movement to stop the mega retailer’s terrible practices. We hope
to see you there!

Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
