“Working at the Staten Island Amazon Fulfillment Center was like working on a modern day plantation. We were worked to the bone. By blocking Amazon HQ2 from coming to Queens, we won big over the most powerful corporation in the world and inspired each other to see the possibilities of what we can win in the warehouses, too.” - Ibrahim Sangare, Former Amazon Staten Island Warehouse Worker

“When I was detained and separated from my kids and my family by ICE, NYCC worked to help me and my family. In Sunset Park, we continue fighting to better our community and win affordable housing, good jobs, and more.” - Beyra Reyes, Chair of NYCC Sunset Park Chapter

Dear Friend,

Yesterday on Cyber Monday, we marched to Jeff Bezos’s $80 million penthouse to let him know that a groundswell of consumers, workers, and elected officials are blazing the trail towards Amazon accountability.

Stand up against Amazon and its crimes by contributing to our fight on this Giving Tuesday!

This action was personal to our members, who have been affected by the working conditions at the Staten Island warehouse, which was reported to have the highest number of injuries out of all industries, and whose families were separated because of ICE.

And your support, especially with the holidays coming up when working conditions are busiest and therefore the most dangerous, will go a long way.

Amazon doesn’t just evade taxes. Amazon abuses workers who are forced to urinate in water bottles to not miss their strict time targets; Amazon enables ICE’s detention-deportation machine which deported over 250,000 people just last year; and Amazon sells surveillance technology to police departments across the country that murder Black and brown people in cold blood.

This Giving Tuesday, donate to this fight and stand up to corporations like Amazon that operate above the law.

We couldn’t do this without you.

In solidarity,

Myriam Hernandez

Lead Labor Organizer
