📢 People Power stands with Amazon Labor Union
🗽People Power United is a grassroots group of over 200,000+ members in all 50 states-powered by people like YOU. We champion progress and power to the people.
Happy Holidays to all of you! No matter what you celebrate, I’m sending you warm wishes for a joyful holiday season.
At People Power United, we don’t do any fundraising because we’re truly powered by people like you. Today, I’m asking you to consider supporting our union friends at Amazon Labor Union. Whether it’s chipping in a few dollars or signing our petition of support, every action makes a difference. These workers are standing up for their rights and walking the picket line during the holidays—a time when they should be earning to provide for their families.
Remember, union power is people power. Let’s stand in solidarity with those fighting for a better future for all of us. Your support matters!
A message from Connor Spence to People Power United’s members
Hi, my name is Connor Spence, and I am the president of Amazon Labor Union IBT Local 1. Right now, my union is on strike.
We won our union election more than 2 ½ years ago, and Amazon has refused to come to the table and bargain with us. We gave them a deadline to meet us, in accordance with our legal rights, and they refused. So we have no choice but to go on strike.
We know that a strike at a place like Amazon is a big deal―especially with the holidays around the corner. So I want you to hear this directly from me: Amazon only speaks one language, and that’s money. We know this because the holidays are the busiest time in Amazon warehouses, and we’ve seen that they will work us to the bone for an extra buck. This is the time of year when the most workers are injured.
If they think we’re disposable, let’s see them handle the holiday rush without us.
I want to be clear: We are not calling for a boycott at this point. We want to reserve that tactic as an escalation if we need to squeeze Amazon further down the road, and it works best when we can get the boycott to start all at once.
I want to thank People Power United for giving me the chance to reach you directly. Please, send a donation to support Amazon Labor Union today!
In solidarity,
Connor Spence
President
Amazon Labor Union, IBT Local 1

The People's March
We all march for different reasons, but we march for the same cause: to defend our rights and our future.
If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that books belong in libraries, not on bonfires, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy; if you believe in the power of free speech and protest to sustain democracy; or if you want an economy that works for the people who power it—then this march is for you.
The People’s March is about one thing: our power.
It’s a bold demonstration of the resilience of resistance:
-We march to unite the people who’ve been the backbone of resistance for generations—and to welcome even more -We march to remind civil servants they answer to us -We march to inspire, energize, and drive change long after the day is done.
This is our moment to remind Americans everywhere — where the power truly lives: with the people.
Let’s make it count.
📢The People’s March
Saturday, January 18, 2025, 10am to 3pm EST. Washington DC + other locations coming. Click here to signup.
