Since the beginning of the pandemic, hundreds of thousands of small businesses have gone out of business, while Amazon’s profits have soared — and their warehouse presence in our communities has multiplied, bringing low-wage and high-turnover jobs, and pollution.
We’re joining our partners statewide at Courage California, Warehouse Worker Resource Center, Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability, UFCW 5, and Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy to bring light to these exploitive practices and demand better from Amazon through the #DeliverUsFromAmazon campaign.
Don’t shop on Amazon on Cyber Monday and instead spend it with us to learn about the various ways Amazon is hurting and exploiting California’s communities and what all residents can do to fight back against the retailer giant.
Join us for a town hall on Monday, Nov 29th at 12pm PST where our organizer, Nathaniel Tate, will talk about how we’re fighting Amazon in San Diego.
