This is one good action.
But not great.
And we must not let it deflate our critiques and organizing against Bezos/Amazon's many persistent bad actions.

Why is this good, not great?
Bezos gave to his own fund. Its focus is mitigating the effects of #ClimateCrisis.
He should have given to @sunrisemvmt (to build the political power to make a #GreenNewDeal) & to UN's Green Climate Fund. These *prevent* worsening climate emergency.
@sunrisemvmt And Bezos and Amazon are still causing direct harm to our climate.
And persecuting their employees who are organizing for Amazon to do better.
And Bezos political action is keeping us from meaningful, democratic, collective action.

@sunrisemvmt @AMZNforClimate @athenaforall And all of this environmental havoc is on top of Amazon's collaboration with immigrant persecution, monopolism, and labor abuse.
These issues are not disconnected, which is why groups like @XR_NYC is part of @CloseTheCampsNY.
