Amazon Employees Walkout Over Climate Demands

On September 20, at 11:30 am local time, more than 1,000 Amazon headquarters employees plan to walk out in protest of company practices that contribute to the current climate crisis, adding their voices to the planned Global Climate Strike.

Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, the group behind the protest, have named three specific demands:
1. Zero emissions by 2030: Pilot electric vehicles first in communities most impacted by our pollution
2. Zero custom Amazon Web Services (AWS) contracts for fossil fuel companies to accelerate oil and gas extraction
3. Zero funding for climate denying lobbyists and politicians
