The Amazon Boycott March 7 - March 14, 2025

About this event
This is organized by The People’s Union –
The Amazon Blackout (March 7 – March 14, 2025)

Our fight does not stop!
The 24-hour economic blackout is just the beginning. Now, we take direct action against one of the largest and most exploitative corporations on the planet... Amazon.

From March 7 to March 14, The People’s Union is launching a nationwide boycott of Amazon and all its subsidiaries. For seven full days, we will not contribute a single dollar to Jeff Bezos’ empire.

Why Amazon?
Amazon is the perfect example of corporate greed and worker exploitation. Despite Jeff Bezos being one of the richest men in history with the ability to end hunger and homelessness while still remaining a billionaire, he chooses not to.

Instead, Amazon has spent decades:
• Exploiting workers with grueling conditions and low wages.

• Destroying small businesses by undercutting local economies.

• Raising prices while manipulating consumer dependency.

• Silencing workers and suppressing unionization efforts.

Amazon thrives because of us, the consumers, the workers, the people. But it’s time to remind them:

They need us. We do not need them.

So here's how it works:
From March 7 – March 14, we do not make a single purchase from:

Amazon.com – No Prime orders, no impulse buys.
Kindle & Audible – No eBook or audiobook purchases.
Whole Foods & Amazon Fresh – Buy groceries elsewhere.
Twitch, Ring, MGM, and all Amazon-owned brands – No support.
This isn’t just about one week. When Amazon ignores us, we escalate. This will be a recurring action until they feel the impact, and begin to do the right thing for everyone!

What You Can Do

• Commit to the boycott—every person matters.

• Spread the word. Share this message everywhere.

This is our power.
This is The People’s Union.
And this is just the beginning.
