Hey John xxxxxx,

Over 39,000 New Yorkers work at Amazon Fulfillment Warehouses. They’re being exploited today to bring you “deals.”

In New York, Amazon has:

• Refused to accommodate pregnant workers and workers with disabilities
• Fired employees for organizing a union
• Failed to protect its workers during the pandemic

Amazon spent $4.3 million on anti-union consultants in 2021 alone, making them one of the biggest union-busters out there. But they are losing the battle on workers’ rights.

Amazon workers are organizing across the country for higher wages, job security, safer working conditions, more paid time off, better medical leave options, and longer breaks.

As a former union member, I am not afraid to stand up to Amazon and other corporations and fight for workers’ rights — I’ve been doing it since day one as a community organizer and the only labor candidate in my race.

I believe the needs of our communities should always come before the needs of billionaires.

This Prime Day, please chip in $7.12 or more to send a working-class champion to Congress→

It might be hard to believe, but Amazon workers making less than a living wage pay more in taxes than Amazon does.

That’s a huge problem. Middle and lower-income families shouldn’t bear the financial burden of billion-dollar companies unwilling to pay their fair share.

And while Amazon is one of the more famous examples of this, they are not alone. Many politicians rely on Amazon to fund their campaign. I’ll never be one of them because I’m rejecting ALL corporate lobbyist money, especially from union busters, in my race for NY-03.

I'd rather win the favor of working people like you, John xxxxxx.

That’s why my endorsement from the Laundry, Distribution, and Food Service Joint Board, Workers United, SEIU means so much to me.

They represent about 8,500 New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut workers, and they know I’m committed to fighting for the working families of this district.

As a grassroots campaign, we rely on supporters like you to power our work. Can you make a donation today and help me fight back against corporations like Amazon?

It’s time to invest in a future where all corporations pay their fair share.

Thank you for everything,

— Melanie D’Arrigo
