Make Amazon Pay
Amazon is one of the most powerful corporations in history.
It is remaking how the economy works in the 21st century squeezing every last drop it can at every turn. The Amazon business model:
- Squeezes workers: While tripling profits in early 2024, Amazon surveils and pressures drivers and warehouse workers at the risk of severe physical and mental harm.
- Squeezes communities: While Amazon drained 2 billion US dollars from US communities to build new data centres, Jeff Bezos moved to Miami to save 600 million US dollars in taxes.
- Squeezes the planet: While Amazon plans to deploy 465,000 new, energy-hungry AI servers each year, most of them won’t be powered by renewable electricity.
The Make Amazon Pay campaign brings together over 80 organisations working towards labour, tax, climate, data and racial justice, and over 400 parliamentarians and tens of thousands of supporters from across the world.
