We noticed a beautiful billboard in Times Square today. Thank you @AOC for standing with community #NoAmazonNYC
Wanna know who is behind the original billboard pretending to speak for New Yorkers?

The Job Creators Network all the way from Addison, Texas.

AKA, pet project of Home Depot billionaire and labor abuser, Bernard Marcus. Among many others. #NoAmazonNYC
You see, NYC's win against Amazon is shifting what's possible across the country and they're scared. No longer do communities have to be forced between false choices of prosperity and jobs vs local political dominance and labor abuse. #NoAmazonNYC
Most of the jobs that would have been introduced by Amazon wouldn't be for the people of Queens. Instead, w/o investment in public infrastructure and affordable housing, Amazon would EXPORT our residents to IMPORT new wealthier residents to take most of those jobs. #NoAmazonNYC
And let's be real, no one banned Amazon. No one evicted Amazon. Amazon could have moved in against our will as intended. Amazon was forced to deal with the most unionized city in America, calculated how much they'll be able to abuse us (as they did in Seattle for years), and left
It wasn't @AOC Amazon saw, it was the multi faith, multi racial coalition of residents, labor, activists and community groups of #NoAmazonNYC they noticed. And AOC, like any good representative and leader, saw our needs and joined us.
