Hi John,
With Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting fast approaching, our communities are demanding the corporation end its racist practices that abuse working people and communities of color. Join us in telling investors to deliver accountability at Amazon — add your name to the shareholder petition. [[link removed]]
Amazon could use its billions and technologies to make work better, but instead has chosen again and again to weaponize its power. It has turned warehouses into high-tech sweatshops , tracking every second of a worker's shift to enforce dangerous productivity quotas that result in high injury and turnover rates. Its technology systems are used by police and governments to expand criminalization and state violence in our communities and around the world.
At Amazon’s shareholder meeting on May 25, workers and communities are insisting Amazon’s shareholders hold the corporation accountable for these choices.
Daniel Olayiwola, a warehouse worker from Texas and United for Respect member, will introduce a resolution to stop the injury and turnover crisis by ending productivity quotas and worker surveillance.

Now is the moment to ramp up the pressure on shareholders to vote for these proposals. Last week, we joined workers and community advocates at an action outside the HQ of Vanguard, Amazon’s largest investor. Alongside our affiliate POWER, Athena coalition partners, and Amazon workers, we told Vanguard it must stop turning a blind eye to Amazon’s abuses.
