[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to demand Amazon stop donating to anti-abortion and
anti-labor Republicans.

Dear MoveOn member,

Last year, sales during Amazon Prime Day surpassed $11 BILLION.^1 These
are the very same profits that Amazon will then turn into campaign
donations for anti-labor and anti-abortion Republicans. Amazon and the
rest of corporate America want to reap the benefits of appearing abortion
positive without actually having to stop their donations to candidates
that would ban abortion. Last month, when the rigged right-wing Supreme
Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Amazon and a number of other corporations
have signaled that they would support employees and staff in accessing
abortion care.^2 But this is just a performative attempt to put a band-aid
on a crisis they've fueled.

These megacorporations—from AT&T and Disney to Amazon—have donated to
Republicans and extremists for years, including Republican governors who
are now signing abortion bans into law.^3 Corporate America actually
represents some of the largest supporters of anti-abortion Republican
candidates at the local, state, and federal levels.

Before Roe was overturned, Amazon released a statement that “team members
should get the care they need" and has offered to reimburse their staff
for travel.^4 [ [link removed] ]But that alone is simply not enough to combat an issue
they’ve helped create. Today, on Prime Day, Amazon has the opportunity to
actually support their staff, by ending all donations to Republican and
right-wing extremist candidates who support abortion bans and fight
against worker’s rights across the country.

We cannot allow Amazon to dodge responsibility and weaponize profits
against abortion rights and bodily autonomy. They must cease donations to
politicians who support and enact abortion bans and demand these
candidates return past donations.

[3]Sign the petition!

The rich will continue to get the abortion care they need; abortion bans
passed at the state levels will prevent only working-class people from
seeking out and receiving the abortion health care they deserve. Amazon’s
donations to Republicans directly contradict their newfound values, and
the company cannot pretend to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion
while donating to candidates who support abortion bans and restrictions
that will harm working-class people the most.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able
to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
