A group of climate and labor activists have gathered in LA to oppose Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos … They take their opposition to his doorstep.
The Congress of Essential Workers is a group of former and current Amazon warehouse workers who led the march, whose purpose was to call on the company for an impact on working conditions and climate.
The demonstration began at 2pm in Will Rogers State Park, where the group addressed the issue of corporate greed and mismanagement of the planet by Amazon.
I was able to see that many people have labels that say “tax bezos”.
March to Jeff Bezos’ Beverly Hills Palace!
Sunday, October 4 at 2 p.m.Corporate greed fuels climate emergency. We need an alliance of environmental activists, workers and consumers to fight back, and that is what this protest reflects today.#PeopleOverProfit #ClimateActivism pic.twitter.com/H80bgvXZKK

Protesters are now marching to the Bezos pad in Beverly Hills, a mile from the park, where they plan to stop and protest before returning to the park.
The march was advertised online earlier this week with the slogan, “Wrong Amazon Burns!” … and the protest comes a week before Amazon’s popular Prime Day.
As we reported … the e-commerce agent has already had a bad advertising week so it is almost revealed 20 cases of corona virus In its labor force since March.
Also, this protest is not really about that.
