Friend,
After insurrectionists overran the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, Amazon called out the members of Congress who voted to overturn the election -- including the Seditious Seven from California -- as part of “an unacceptable attempt to undermine a legitimate democratic process.”(1)
Now Amazon is donating to those same politicians it called “unacceptable,” including Californian Darrell Issa.(2)
Amazon may want to forget January 6, but these politicians are still promoting Trump’s Big Lie that the election was stolen. We are demanding that Amazon cut off those political donations.

The January 6 hearings in Congress made abundantly clear that not only did Trump orchestrate the riots, but he is continuing to plan to undermine future elections.
In states like Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia, Big Lie election deniers are using disinformation about voter fraud to win races for secretary of state, governor, and other offices in charge of deciding the 2024 presidential election.(3)
But Amazon is saying that it’s been 21 months and they’ve moved on?!(4)
Amazon is pouring money into electing candidates they can count on to support their monopoly practices, no matter how dangerous they are to the economy. It needs to stop.
Will you sign our petition calling on Amazon to stop funding insurrectionist members of Congress?
Thank you for joining the fight to defend democracy.
