We cannot tolerate this anymore! As Amazon continues to reel in billions, warehouse and delivery workers in Minnesota are fighting tirelessly to pay their bills.
Workers are suffering from injuries after slipping on ice in the winter, getting hit by falling boxes, and being stuck in unbearably hot warehouses in the summer. For those delivering Amazon’s packages in Minnesota, the human cost of corporate greed means stolen wages and a trip to the hospital.

With Amazon already under the spotlight facing pressure from workers around the world for better treatment on "Prime Day," we can’t allow those they do business with to exploit and steal. Now is the time to raise our voices and demand that Amazon workers in Minnesota and all over the world should never have to fight to get paid or work under dangerous circumstances.
Demand that all Amazon workers are treated with dignity and respect!
We cannot continue to see Jeff Bezos, the richest human in modern history, get richer every day while low-wage workers struggle to survive.
The Awood Center, the workers group leading on the ground, has asked for SumOfUs members like you directly to support in their fight. The center is committed to justice for immigrant and refugee Amazon workers in the twin cities area, and will not back down. But they need your help to do it.
They need you to call on Amazon to make sure everyone working, whether in the warehouse or on the road, get the dignified working conditions that all people deserve.
Add your voice - demand justice for Amazon workers now!
From your email inbox to Amazon’s doorstep, hundreds of thousands of members like you have made a huge impact towards real accountability on Amazon. After two years of fighting for Amazon to stop profiting off hate, the company just announced it is removing racist merchandise from their online store. It's because of you that we refuse to bow down to corporations, no matter how powerful.
Together, for Amazon’s workers, you can make this moment matter.
