Amazon is an innovative company. What if it used its smarts and power and scale to actually show bold leadership on the climate crisis? Now that would be interesting. That’s what Amazon workers and customers are hungry for. 24x
I'm in love with this interview with Rebecca Sheppard, who's been part of the movement underway to shift Amazon from a company lagging to LEADING on climate. She articulates so well what many of us feel. 25/xhttps://gizmodo.com/an-amazon-organizer-explains-why-workers-are-demanding-1834004120 …
"I feel probably the most energized I have in six years...I think it takes a lot of action from a lot of people to make the changes that we need, so it’s just been really inspiring and motivating and energizing to work with all these people who feel the same way." 26/x
"being a part of something that encourages Amazon to be on the right side of climate action is something that we’re all proud of. And it shouldn’t be something that we’re covertly doing...We’re doing it openly, we’re doing it to be *collaborative* with Amazon." 27/x
"We all see ourselves as being progressive for Amazon and helping Amazon lead the pack into the future. I think that this is the kind of momentum we’re seeing more and more with the Google walkouts, with We Won’t Build It," 28/x
"I think that we are finding that there’s actually a lot of power in employees. And there’s power in people who have a common cause." 29/x
"I feel incredibly inspired by the coming together of all of my colleagues at Amazon. Everyone that I’ve shared the letter or asked to sign it has been more than enthusiastic—they’ve signed it, shared it, and asked about how they can get more involved." 30/x
"And so, to me, it has made me feel connected to my colleagues as well as more invested in Amazon." 31/x
"I think it’s empowering. And I think people are just starting to realize the power that we all have together, and in coming together. There’s a lot of power there that we’ve been unaware of and that we’re tapping into and it’s going to drive a change." 32/x
"We already see it driving a change: The announcement of Shipment Zero. That came from the resolution. We know that was in direct correspondence to the initial resolution filed last year. So we see the power that we have." 33/x
"Amazon is in a unique place to disrupt and improve a number of industries, and we’re all looking forward to the opportunity to help Amazon do that." 34/x
What we're seeing at Amazon is just the tip of the iceberg (heh) here and across the tech sector. As @developingjen put it, "The opportunity for the technology industry to truly lead on the climate crisis is immense." 35/x
As the climate crisis accelerates, so too will tech workers' collective actions calling for bold, rapid action and leadership from our companies. We can face the crisis, head on, and avert it's worst outcomes if we do it together. Together is the only way we win.
