DESCRIPTION:Join the bike and car caravan to support the Alabama Amazon Workers' union 
 drive. March 20 is the International Day of Solidarity. The caravan will 
 start at 1 p.m at Lake Merritt BART Parking Lot, 8th and Oak, travel to 
 several Oakland Amazon hubs and then end at Snow Park, 19th and Harrison at 
 2:30 p.m. for a 
 rally.\n\nhttps://supportamazonworkers.org/march20/\n\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 every- where to step up organizing and fighting 
 back.\n\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 its 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.\n\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.\n
