Dear John, Amazon tech workers are taking historic action against Israeli apartheid. Today, they will rally with representatives from the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), Amazon warehouse workers, Google workers, and community supporters in New York City outside one of Amazon’s biggest Cloud summits. Together, they’ll demand that Amazon stop doing business with Israel’s apartheid regime. |
Tell Amazon: #NoTechForApartheidFor almost two years, Google and Amazon workers have been organizing collectively against their bosses’ $1.2 billion contract with apartheid Israel. They’ve said loud and clear that they don’t want their labor to power the mass surveillance of Palestinians or the expansion of illegal, Jewish-only settlements designed to displace Palestinians from their land. And last September, hundreds of tech workers and community supporters took to the streets for #NoTechForApartheid, generating mainstream press and forcing the companies to respond publicly for the first time. Today, Amazon tech workers are leading their first action as part of the #NoTechForApartheid campaign, and they — and their bosses — need to know we stand with these workers. Take 30 seconds to sign the petition demanding Amazon stop doing business with Israel’s apartheid regime. Today’s rally comes amid a national conversation over whether Israel is a racist state — and Amazon tech workers are saying, loud and clear: Israel is an apartheid state, and we won’t be a part of enabling this anti-Palestinian violence. Now more than ever, they need our support. Onwards, Dani Noble Senior Campaigns Organizer |
