How we got started! A climate shareholder resolution 28 Amazon employees (and a few former employees) co-filed. I decided to talk about why I decided to speak publicly about it in the NYT (spoiler: climate change threatens everything we care about!): 2/https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1074441121391042565 …

Emily Cunningham @emahleeI'm one of the Amazon employees quoted in this NYT article. I want to add to@kateconger's reporting and provide more context on WHY I decided to take this action and to be so public about it. Climate change is the issue of our lifetimes. 1/X https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/technology/tech-workers-company-stock-shareholder-activism.html …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

Amazon is selling our AI and big data technology to help Big Oil and Gas find and accelerate oil and gas extraction. The very *last* thing we need. Surreal how open Amazon is about it's romance with fossil fuel companies: 3/https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1104218682253729792 …

Same week Shipment Zero was announced,@bcmerchant reported Amazon, Goggle & MS have deals with oil companies, “collectively worth billions” to help them “churn out more oil.” https://gizmodo.com/how-google-microsoft-and-big-tech-are-automating-the-1832790799 … https://twitter.com/higginsdunn/status/1104044599222435843 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

The climate crisis poses *significant* financial risks to Amazon. And not just in the usual ways one expects. Amazon may not be a fossil fuel company, but that doesn't mean it's safe from the inevitable carbon bubble and a large-scale market correction. 4/https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1119687611667193856 …

Emily Cunningham @emahleeThe climate crisis poses *significant* financial risks to Amazon. And not just in the usual ways one expects, like disruptions to business operations. What and how big are these risks? Investors need transparency on Amazon's risk assessment and management plans. THREAD

Me, speaking at our shareholder meeting, directly asking Bezos for climate leadership at the scale and urgency the climate crisis demands. I was scared! People there got very emotional too: https://www.fastcompany.com/90354389/the-dramatic-moment-when-an-amazon-worker-asked-jeff-bezos-to-protect-planet-earth … 5/https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1132036801328238593 …
