not giving your money to a business that’s currently striking is literally an essential part of a strike.
Amazon brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. Even a one-day boycott could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially if the boycott coincided with one of the most profitable days Amazon expected to have all year, as this one does.
Do not visit Amazon.com on 10 July 2018 (or July 15-16 in the US)!
While we’re talking about effective boycotting, boycotting Amazon means more than boycotting Amazon, because Amazon has subsidiaries that also help it make money. If you’re going to boycott Amazon, you also need to boycott the following subsidiaries:
AWS Elemental
AbeBooks
Alexa Internet
Audible
Blink Home
Brilliance Audio
ComiXology
CreateSpace
Diapers.com
Double Helix Games
Evi
Fabric.com
GoodReads
IMDb
Junglee
Mobipocket
Ring
Shelfari
Shopbop
Souq.com
TenMarks Education, Inc.
Twitch
Whole Foods Market
Woot
Zappos
A boycott is not effective unless you attack it on all fronts. This is why boycotting things like McDonalds or Coca Cola are so ineffective– they have so many subsidiaries and supporting businesses that they can afford a frontal hit and still make money from its “family” companies.
If you truly want to help this boycott, make sure to boycott Amazon and its subsidiaries.
The boycott is for a week until the 18th yes it’s gonna be tempting but honestly walk in solidarity with these workers block the sites if need be but stand in solidarity and support them. People have died working for Amazon a week is nothing to protect folks lives.
alexa this is so sad, play—
Book Depository is also an Amazon site!
I know authors have books coming out this week, so if you still want to support them and also read amazing books, try these UK non-Amazon sites instead (can anyone add others for their countries please?):
The Great British Bookshop
Wordery (free worldwide delivery)
Hive (aggregator site for indie bookshops)
Books etc
Foyles
Better World Books
Even better, all of these companies pay tax!
