Dear John,
Have you seen the news? Earlier this week, in partnership with a diverse group of movement leaders and consumers, Jobs With Justice helped launch the Athena Coalition. The goal? Expose the growing influence big multi-national corporations like Amazon have on our democracy and economy. From hearing about the mistreatment of workers at Amazon warehouses, to segregating communities who have access to Amazon Prime, we need your support to send a clear message to Amazon to do better! Together, we will run campaigns to:
- Alleviate the demands placed on Amazon warehouse workers who are driven to the point of exhaustion with limited, if any -- real breaks.
- Reduce the pressure delivery drivers face attempting to deliver packages in two days--or less.
- Fight Amazon's growing monopoly of the online marketplace.
- Expose Amazon--and other companies'--use of personal surveillance devices to collect data about workers' every step and how consumer data is collected and used.
As the holiday shopping season begins, we have a unique opportunity for you to join a growing movement and support this campaign. Your contribution will send a clear message to Amazon that it must put people over profits. A major donor who shares our vision of putting working people over profits has agreed to MATCH all donations dollar for dollar, but only if we can reach 150 total donations by the end of Giving Tuesday.
DONATE TODAY and help us prove that Black Friday and the holiday season means more when working people, our families, and communities are struggling and under attack. But please – do it before Giving Tuesday and you’ll help unlock a dollar for dollar match to run campaigns that fight against Amazon.
