WWJ Our Prime Day Order Community Rally on Tuesday, June 22

6/21/2021

 
Join Warehouse Workers for Justice on Prime Day to stand in solidarity with our warehouse workers fighting for good jobs and dignity at work. The community rally will take place at Nowell Park Recreation Center (199 Mills Road, Joliet, IL 60433) on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at 6:00PM CT.

There will be food, music, and a possible community art piece. We will livestream the event and encourage allies to tweet and post on social media on the day of the event to build momentum and get the movement trending. We've compiled a handy social media kit, which includes key event information, graphics, and a live tweeting guide, for allies to use.
Let us know you'll be there
Here are a few reasons why we are demanding justice from Amazon: 
  • Last year, Amazon made $21 billion in profits amid the pandemic, while Amazon warehouse workers struggled and suffered to meet impossible demands under unsafe, inhumane working conditions with little pay and job security.
  • Despite pledges to combat climate change, Amazon also emitted 51.17 million metric tons of carbon dioxide last year, increasing its carbon footprint by 15%.
  • The New York Times reported that Black workers in NYC were almost 50% more likely to be fired — whether for productivity, misconduct or absenteeism — than their white peers.

​Will County’s workers and residents are placing their Prime Day order, and the only thing in the shopping cart is justice from Amazon. Together we will envision our community with good jobs, clean air, and the opportunities we deserve.
