Amazons Against Amazon

Warriors united against facial recognition technologies, collaboration with ICE & unjust labor practices. NO Amazon HQ in LIC.

[Amazons Against Amazon @NOAmazonAmazons]

While @amazon secures deal to open #AmazonHQ2 in LIC, they continue to develop facial Rekognition technology that aids #ICE and endangers our communities. We don't want you here, Amazon, and we will fight tirelessly against your ruthless profiteering. https://t.co/onl0r9vwmy

WTF is the matter with you, @HRC????

.@Amazon’s CEO @JeffBezos to be honored with the @HRC National Equality Award at the #HRCNationalDinner. https://t.co/FW6LLiVpM7

[Academic Freedom/FreeSpeech/FuckGenocide/War/ICE @SChenHayes]

@HRC @amazon @JeffBezos Y'all wanna renounce this award now @HRC? Why did you ever think it was ok to give this to a union-busting billionaire who could care less about working class queer and trans workers? @HRC does not represent our community ONCE AGAIN. @NOAmazonAmazons @AMZNforClimate @BAmazonUnion

@JeremyR1992 @greenarchives1 This connection surprises me not at all!!!!

A fascinating study in the NYU Review of Law and Social Change. by CUNY Law Professor @greenarchives1 on the ethical complications for lawyers when the research vendors they use are sharing data with ICE and law enforcement: https://t.co/XyTgWHhRvV

.@jeffbezos bezos you cant hide! We can see your greedy side! #AmazonPrimeDay #AmazonStrike #AmazonVSImmigrants

[MPower Change @MPower_Change]

By using @PalantirTech’s software on @awscloud technology, ICE stores & shares massive amounts of data used to target & detain immigrants.

It’s time that @Amazon & @PalantirTech cut ties with ICE. Tell @JeffBezos to take action: https://t.co/Ka1jwldDPi

#PrimeDayAmazon

[Mijente 🐜🐜🐜 @ConMijente]

We are leaving over 275K petitions on Jeff Bezos' steps, placed over the very same kind of foil that immigrants are being forced to use in facilities and camps right now. #NoTechforICE
#PrimeDay to #DropICE
#AmazonVSImmigrants

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

MN @amazon warehouse workers—many of whom are immigrants— are striking for #PrimeDay today despite threats of retaliation.

All this while @awscloud builds tech for ICE. The struggle against racialized capitalism is for dignity for workers, immigrants, & us all. #JewsAgainstICE

[MPower Change @MPower_Change]

A delegation of our team is abt to enter @jeffbezos apt building & deliver bottles filled w urine & foil blankets to represent worker exploitation & @amazon’s ties to ICE as well as our petition w 270,000 signatures demanding they stop powering ICE #PrimeDayAmazon  #amazonstrike

[MPower Change @MPower_Change]

Despite all of the crap that the press/establishment/corporate world threw at #NoAmazonNYC, the concerns that @PrimedOutNYC and others raised about #HQ2 have been realized in NoVa. Severe displacement + sharp rent increases.

[Mijente 🐜🐜🐜 @ConMijente]

All data collected by ICE is then accessed by agents when they are “hunting” for us. @PalantirTech is ICE’s tech backbone, hosted on @AWScloud. Read more about this at https://t.co/elbWEY1etz #AmazonVSImmigrants

[For Us, Not Amazon @ForUsNotAmazon]

A note on the Amazon cloud- "cloud" makes us think that data is in some otherworldly tech space. But actually the cloud looks like this- they're buildings where all our information is physically stored and kept running.

These AWS data centers in Ashburn, Va #AmazonvsImmigrants

[MPower Change @MPower_Change]

Q7 This brings us to abolition. Why is abolition our goal? Why is ensuring that @Amazon & @PalantirTech stop providing tech to ICE an integral part of an abolitionist vision and in line with the #AbolishICE movement? #AmazonVSImmigrants
