The Amazon workers plan to meet with Seattle city council member <a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/12/kshama-sawant-amazon-socialist-seattle-city-council-victory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kshama Sawant</a>  to put forward a list of demands including increased wages for workers and taxes on Amazon to support community development.  The organizers need your help to get to Amazon World HQ.  While Jeff Bezos and Amazon have endless resources to fight their employees’ demands, working-class organizers have limited means to fight back effectively. Smalls and his fellow workers have led actions against Amazon <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/chris-smalls-protest-jeff-bezos-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all</a> <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/08/jeff-bezos-guillotine-protest-amazon-workers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">over</a> <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/amazon-protests-guillotine-jeff-bezos-washington-dc-1528472" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the</a> <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/amazon-protestors-plan-march-jeff-200816188.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACpyWEazCC4XCOKFDRFiJ2rG6qoISsXfayxTTtvdd3f3n1jRStqRvJl7M-oGIdnrvGJN2LYR3-_pA98aY7fLCD84vmDdsHjeUs2qfuEkWBN47Fq87tfLWCdWCHWxs3xPCKFp5yCvMLXnDoBnsphM3cBtGbLofD4MqEK9I8Yq_Wid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">country</a> but they need help getting to Seattle to keep the pressure up and to bring the fight to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/amazon-in-seattle-economic-godsend-or-self-centered-behemoth/2019/04/08/7d29999a-4ce3-11e9-93d0-64dbcf38ba41_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">belly of the beast</a> . 100% of the funds donated will go to Chris Smalls so that he can cover travel and lodging expenses for at least 3-4 other organizers, all current or former Amazon workers. They will then rally with <a href="https://www.socialistalternative.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Socialist Alternative</a>  in Seattle to bring attention to their demands. Instead of giving your money to Jeff Bezos this Black Friday, consider giving it to the workers fighting him instead!  We will post receipts of the transfer to Smalls and we will post any pictures or articles that come from the action. Thank you! Solidarity forever.
