It's been a whirlwind week! I am beyond elated Over 6,100 Amazon employees have now signed their name *publicly* (which is unheard of) asking Bezos and Amazon's board to release a companywide plan that addresses climate change at the scale and urgency it requires.

This is having reverberations across the entire tech sector. I'm hearing from tech workers at other companies who've been inspired by #AMZNclimate Imagine if tech workers from across the tech sector came together for climate action. People are so hungry for this!

"It is rare for tech employees, even some of the most activist ones, to attach their names to public criticism of their employers. While thousands walked out at Google over the company’s handling of sexual harassment claims, for example, few names were connected to the effort."

Now, over 6,100: "This week, more than 4,200 Amazon employees called on the company to rethink how it addresses and contributes to a warming planet. The action is the largest employee-driven movement on climate change to take place in the influential tech industry.: -@KYWeise
