A thousand Amazon employees have signed a form pledging to walk out on September 20 in support of youth climate strikers. According to this article in Vox, an informational letter to Amazon workers from Amazon Employees for Climate Justice said, “We need bold, immediate climate action.” As a large global company, “we must demonstrate real climate leadership.”
Goals of the action are zero carbon emissions by 2030; an end to custom AWS cloud computing contracts with fossil fuel companies; and an end to funding climate-denying lobbyists and politicians. Twenty-six Amazon workers explain why they are walking out in this short, powerful video.
