Join our off-corp Amazon employee network!
We’re Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, and we’re working to make Amazon better for ourselves, our colleagues, the climate and local communities. We won the Climate Pledge back in 2019, and now we’re fighting for a more responsible rollout of AI. The first step is having a space to get connected outside of Amazon so that we can have honest conversations with each other about what’s really going on at the company and how we can make things better.
To sign up for updates about what we’re doing, and to find out ways you can choose to get more involved, sign up below! If you are ready to chat now, sign up for a 1:1 with one of our existing members.

Tell me more first?
Maybe this is the first time you’re hearing of us, but Amazon Employees for Climate Justice has been organizing with our co-workers since late 2018, when we submitted a shareholder proposal asking our company to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
That started because several of us who cared about climate got together and tried to figure out how the heck we could use our jobs at Amazon to advocate for something better. And it led to really important things: in 2019, we won the Climate Pledge after over 1500 of us pledged to walk out in the Global Climate Strike.
But we aren’t just fighting for a better climate. In 2020, we helped push Amazon to better protect warehouse workers from COVID. Last year, over 1200 of us signed an open letter with our concerns about AI that received national attention. This year, we testified in favor of data center regulations in Seattle, which then passed a 1-year pause to create policy around data centers and AI. You can read more in-depth about our history here.
This is progress, but we’re not kidding ourselves: There’s so much more that needs to happen to have better lives in the future. To have room to breathe.
And that’s why we need you. You don’t have to have the answers, or even the time, to solve all the problems within our company. We just hope you join our network off Amazon’s internal platforms. You’ll be connected to other co-workers ready to do something about this together.
The Climate Pledge started with a handful of people who believed that things could look different. A large network of people ready to sign a letter and walk out backed them up. This is your chance to get connected to a group like that. We hope you’ll join us.
