When Jeff Bezos tried to become culturally relevant by making himself and his wife “honorary co-chairs” of the Met Gala, the backlash was hard and swift. Because the real buzz was about how billionaires like Bezos exploit workers to build wealth, and the real stars were Amazon workers walking their own runway at the Ball Without Billionaires.
Fired from Amazon after organizing, Sultana Hossain now serves as ALU’s Recording Secretary and Director of Coalitions. Mary Hill is a co-founder of Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment, also known as CAUSE. (And if you’ve spent any time on the internet lately, you might recognize Mary from a very pointed message projected onto Jeff Bezos’ penthouse walls.
Mary and Sultana will share their own stories, reveal what it’s really like to be a worker organizing at Amazon, and talk about how all of us can join the fight against one of the greediest corporations in history.
In Solidarity,
The Labor Force
