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!

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

watching an actress in full makeup pretend to wash her face and then pat dry her still fully contoured cheeks for an acne wash commercial

when i was 13 i had no idea what make up looked like on. media literacy is important

I especially like the makeup remover ads where she takes off her lipstick, to reveal lighter lipstick underneath.

or the commercials for razors with women shaving their already baby smooth, waxed legs

This is such a surreal, dystopian thing about our culture. We literally treat the natural female body like its obscene. No wonder girls grow up with so much self loathing when they feel as if their own skin is incorrect.

wierdly, I was watching an ad for the dollar shave club (for women) and it had a woman with ACTUAL VISIBLE DARK LEG HAIR. It was amazing. And sad, that it should be so startling to see.
