*[Enwl-eng] “I can’t stay home, I work for Amazon”

[ENWL]

                        Amazon workers with suspected coronavirus still need to work to feed their families.

                        Can you chip in $1 to demand Amazon give proper sick pay?

                        Your donation will pay for a mobile billboard to circle the CEO’s mansion to take the workers’ voices directly to his door.

                        DONATE $1 NOW
                          
                 
            While billions of us are in lockdown, the world’s richest man is forcing scared employees to work in warehouses -- where coronavirus outbreaks are rife.

            Amazon workers are begging their CEO Jeff Bezos to close the warehouses for deep cleaning and give proper sick pay.

            Bezos’ response? If you stay at home, you don’t get paid.

            That’s an impossible choice for low-paid workers. And that’s how Amazon’s boss is making this pandemic worse -- Bezos is a super-spreader.

            Right now Bezos is enjoying a luxury quarantine in his D.C mansion. If you chip in today we’ll surround his home with scathing mobile billboards, until he lets up. 

            He won’t be able to look out the window without seeing your message.

            Can you chip in $1 to win proper sick pay for Amazon workers to help end the crisis?

            I appreciate this isn’t an easy time financially for many people.

            We’re all doing the best we can to get through each day, follow the rules and keep each other safe.

            But if you can afford to donate, this is a direct, practical way to overturn the dangerous policies of one of the biggest corporations in the world. Your donation will help stop Amazon spreading the virus.

            Chip in $1 to send a billboard to show Bezos that business as usual is over.

            Now is the best possible moment to strike -- because Amazon workers are striking too.

            Amazon’s tech workers are lending their support to warehouse and delivery teams. Now it’s up to us to build the pressure to boiling point. A mobile billboard at Jeff Bezos’ mansion is a brilliant way to do that.

            Mobile billboards outside insurance companies got them to pull support for the gigantic Adani coal mine in Australia. And doing the same outside Liverpool FC’s football stadium in England got them to dump dodgy sponsors.

            In a few seconds, you can chip in a donation that sends a huge billboard to bother Bezos -- and wins sick pay for all Amazon workers.

            Sitting at home doesn’t have to feel powerless!

            Yes, I can chip in $1 so everyone is protected.
