Dear Friends,

Amazon is literally run by the world’s richest person. Of course they should pay their taxes. But in the midst of a homelessness crisis in their hometown, Amazon isn’t interested in doing their part.

Instead, they’re making it worse.

Amazon is not only opposing a City Council proposal for a progressive tax on the few hundred largest businesses in Seattle. They’re actually threatening the people of Seattle by claiming they’ll pause construction depending on how and when the City Council votes. That’s not just greed — it’s behavior you might expect from a subprime mob boss lording it over a company town.

It’s also a crime.

Under RCW 9A.76.180, it’s illegal to use threats to intimidate public servants and influence their votes. The company should be prosecuted for it.

Sign on to tell Attorney General Bob Ferguson to prosecute Amazon for their mob boss behavior. Then keep on clicking to send a letter straight to City Council members to let them know that you think Amazon needs to pay.

We know that corporations owned by the richest people in the world typically oppose progressive taxes. And we’ve come to expect that they’ll routinely issue misleading info & make all kinds of wrong predictions about the impacts of progressive moves by public officials. While the Chicken Little routine can be tedious, it’s not a felony.

But issuing threats to cause harm in order to influence the votes of elected officials is a different matter. It’s a criminal act, and it should be treated as such.

If you’re sick of putting up with Amazon’s bullying, take action by sending a letter to Attorney General Ferguson, and then telling the Seattle City Council why you support the proposed tax for homeless services.

The city has heard enough threats from Jeff Bezos — now they need to hear from us.

Thanks,
Working Washington

She’s literally cooking from the inside.

A whistleblower secretly filmed this — thousands crammed on a filthy ship, slowly boiling to death in the blazing heat. Millions are transported like this every year! But now governments are scrambling before a global meeting on animal welfare — let’s build a massive call to end these death ships!

Last night, Satana Deberry won the Durham County primary by 2,560 votes and Faris Dixon won the Pitt County primary by 262 votes! These are huge wins for Black folks in North Carolina, and we couldn’t have done any of this without our members. Color Of Change PAC members in NC showed up and showed out for Satana and Faris, launching volunteer teams to mobilize tens of thousands of voters. We reached 300,000 voters through our innovative digital ads program, recruited and trained 150+ volunteers and led Black Joy brunches, early vote block parties, door-to-door canvasses and text-a-thons to educate voters on the importance of electing District Attorneys that are committed to reforming the criminal justice system in Durham and Pitt Counties. 

Color Of Change PAC supported Satana Deberry and Faris Dixon because they’re committed to transformative solutions that will change our criminal justice system and prioritize Black lives, not “tough on crime” policies.
