Don’t be a scab, stand with workers. Tell your friends to not be scabs.
Don’t support the empire. Support the workers who are demanding better from the richest man in the world. #AmazonStrike #Amazon #AmazonPrimeDay
A healthy reminder: Under capitalism there is no ethical consumption. We are (sometimes) presented with choices and not all choices are the same. Workers at Amazon have called for us to show solidarity, so we must respond by not patronizing Amazon companies. #PrimeDay
