July 8 Amazon Strike

Support workers starting a strike in the 2nd week of July by boycotting Amazon beginning July 8, 2018 until they give in to striker’s demands.

This strike is purposely timed to disrupt Amazon’s Prime Deals event on July 16th, so you can show solidarity by not buying from Amazon during this time.

Also, please don’t think you’re helping the workers by buying more stuff during this time to increase workload–you’re only giving Bezos more cash if you buy off Amazon, and it’s not like HE has to personally process your packages for you.

It sends an even bigger message if you can cancel your Amazon Prime as well.

This is a European strike, so you can help even more if you live in Europe, but it will send a powerful message if people in other countries also boycott Amazon during this time, to say that you will not ignore the mistreatment of workers outside your country.

Here is a page giving information on the strike:
