DESCRIPTION:Join a car caravan circling Hilltop Mall, which is being used by Amazon as 
 a distribution center, to show solidarity for Amazon workers. \nBetween Feb 
 8, and March 29, approximately 6,000 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, 
 Alabama will begin voting by mail on whether to be represented by the 
 Retail, Wholesale Department Store Workers Union (RWDSU). The harsh working 
 conditions at Amazon warehouses, along with Amazon’s refusal to adopt 
 measures that protect workers from COVID 19, have pushed Amazon and Whole 
 Foods workers everywhere to step up organizing and fighting back.\nThese 
 predominantly Black workers who have in recent months formed the BAmazon 
 Workers Union, are on the cusp of launching a history-changing workers 
 organization against one of the biggest and most powerful transnational 
 corporations in the world, and it's super rich union busting owner, Jeff 
 Bezos. In addition, these workers are standing up to the racist, anti-union 
 laws that suppress labor across the South.\nSolidarity from every corner of 
 the labor and progressive movements is needed now to show the workers in 
 Bessemer that they are not alone, that all eyes are on the historic 
 struggle that they are leading. This is especially needed as Amazon ramps 
 up their union-busting tactics.\nThe Southern Workers Assembly has issued a 
 call for a National Day of Solidarity with Alabama Amazon Workers on 
 Saturday, February 20. Actions are being planned across the South and the 
 U.S. on that day at Amazon facilities (warehouses, distribution centers, 
 Whole Foods, etc.).\n\n
