a lot of people are talking about how it’s pointless to boycott Amazon during the strike bc Amazon has so many subsidiaries that it seems impossible to avoid them all for a week.

but the strike is about warehouse workers for Amazon.com specifically.

if you can avoid whole foods and audible etc. during the strike, go for it!! but the really essential piece is that you do not purchase anything from Amazon.com for the duration of the strike. it’s okay to be specific here.

it is better to do something than nothing, and in this case, no one is even expecting a boycott of all the subsidiaries – the part that will be most traceable to the strike will be the drop in purchases from Amazon.com anyway.

Do not visit Amazon.com until 17 July 2018 or until the strike ends, whichever happens last.

people are talking about it like it’s just the 10th but please prime day here is not until the 16th/17th

please observe the whole week long strike
