The situation is FUCKED. I'm an Amazon tech worker and I am horrified and appalled. Amazon needs to protect logistic workers and the public NOW. I hope you will join me in donating to support them fight this and win! I'm matching up to $500.

I am ENRAGED. Leaked notes from an internal meeting of Amazon leadership show plans to smear fired warehouse worker, Chris Smalls, who asked Amazon for basic protections for workers from #COVID19.
