Hey, Jeff Bezos: I work for Amazon – and I'm protesting against your firm's climate inaction

Later this month, more than 1,000 Amazon staffers will walk out to demand action. Rebecca Sheppard is one of the strike's organizers

Since late last year, a group of workers within Amazon have been organizing to push the company to radically reduce its carbon emissions. Yesterday, they announced a major new action: on 20 September, Amazon workers around the world will walk out of their offices to join the Global Climate Strike. So far, more than 1,000 workers have pledged to participate. The organizers have three demands. They want the company to commit to zero emissions by 2030, to have zero custom cloud computing contracts with fossil fuel companies and to spend zero dollars on funding climate-denying lobbyists and politicians.
