“We have a simple message to Amazon and Google executives:

End the Project Nimbus contracts.

Stop profiting from violence against Palestinians.”
Dylan @pal_legal:

“Slowly but surely the tide is turning against Israeli apartheid.

But we’re not there yet.

In the past year we’ve received reports of students, workers, and journalists who have been harassed, targeted, and fired for speaking up in solidarity with Palestine.”
Dinesh @JustFuturesLaw tells 200+ and growing rally of our comrades:

Our fights are intersectional. #NoTechForICE is in solidarity with #NoTechForApartheid ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Gabi, @AlphabetWorkers member:

“I stand here as a Jewish employee of Google opposed to Project Nimbus.

Project Nimbus is neither the first nor last in Google’s drive to be a military contractor.

It’s only through community & organizing with yall we’ve been able to push back.”
@lsarsour:

“We are asking these corporations to do the bare minimum: not violate the human rights of Palestinians, migrants at our borders.

One day we will look back at this moment like we look back at moments when workers and organizers fought to end South African apartheid.”
“They cannot silence or intimidate us.

They have tried and failed.

We keep speaking out, we keep growing our movement.

We are all part of this movement. Workers have always been central to our movement—tech workers, warehouse workers, all of us.” -@lsarsour
Thank you for following us — and please join our fight by following @MPower_Change’s calls to action below.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 💜

🏅It's #CleanAirDay so we honor our favorite corporate polluter: @amazon

Last year, Amazon's own numbers showed its emissions jumped double digits. That's like the world’s largest plane (A380 w 853 passengers) flying from London to Boston. 83,868 times.

🧵 1/x #Streets4People Image
But these emissions are *just* from Amazon brand products, which make up only 1% of products on Amazon dot com.

If all others produced similar levels, the total impact of Amazon on our air would be what the A380 would emit flying London to Boston... over 8 million times.

These emissions aren't just numbers. They show up in notoriously underserved communities where environmental injustice is already wreaking havoc on health. In Newark where communities successfully beat back #NoSecretHub, 1 in 4 children has asthma.

BREAKING: We demand Congress hold a hearing on @Amazon’s safety crisis.

3 Amazon workers in NJ died on the job in 3 weeks.

The 1st worker, Rafael, died in the Prime Day rush–when consumers shop, and workers fulfill orders til they drop

🧵 #AmazonHurts

We're calling on @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @PattyMurray @SenatorBurr @BobbyScott @virginiafoxx to use your oversight responsibility and respond to the tragic deaths of NJ Amazon workers and the 34,000 serious injuries last year alone.

2/x #AmazonHurts

We urge your committees to exercise oversight responsibility by convening a public emergency congressional hearing, asking questions of the individuals responsible for the dangerous labor practices that are causing these injuries and deaths, including Amazon CEO @ajassy.

For years, workers have been fighting Amazon using surveillance to punish and fire, and injure and even kill them.

Today @SenBobCasey is taking a stand, calling on the Department of Labor to take action #AmazonHurts

Workers should not be subject to tools for exploitation developed on plantations and in factories 100+ yrs ago.

We call on Congress, once again, to ban surveillance that harms workers' health and safety.

athenaforall.medium.com/end-worker-sur…
Through inaction, Congress & federal agencies are making a choice to allow Amazon to continue to exploit workers.

Government has the power to stop Amazon from using surveillance to punish & push workers to injury & death.

It's time they use this power.

Meet Melissa Ojeda, Daniel Rivera & Sara Fee.

Just now: They are part of 160 @IEAmazonWorkers workers in work stoppage and walk out from @Amazon's gigantic air hub holding up the western region of their logistics!

@ieamazonworkers @amazon As the very first coordinated action from an Amazon air facility, this action boldly escalates the fight for demands @Amazon workers are making across the country:

✊🏽 fair pay
✊🏿 safe, healthy workplace
✊🏻 end to retaliation for unions

2/x #AmazonHurts

warehouseworkers.org/wwrc_campaigns…
This means the vast majority of the current shift have just walked out.

They make up about 11% of Amazon workers in this critical @Amazon facility.

It comes on the heels of 3 deaths of Amazon workers in just 3 weeks in New Jersey.
