Amazon is hoping to make a killing over the next 36 hours during one of the most important promotional days of the year: Amazon Prime Day.
While CEO Jeff Bezos indulges in the luxury of being the richest man on earth -- his personal wealth is a whopping $90 billion dollars --- thousands of his employees rely on government subsidies and food stamps to top up their wages just to make ends meet.
This Prime Day, Amazon workers from all over the globe have asked you to send a show of solidarity. With your donation we’re going to plaster the internet with anti-Amazon ads on Amazon Prime Day. Every time a shopper sees Amazon advertising new deals, your ad will be sitting right alongside -- telling customers everything they need to know about Amazon’s shocking mistreatment of workers.
If Amazon won't pay its workers, we need to hit it where it hurts: its sales. But we need to act now, Amazon Prime Day is starting in just a few hours. We’ve got the ads ready to go -- all we need is your support. Can yo chip in to send Amazon boss Jeff Bezos a message he'll never forget?

What better way to get Amazon to pay attention to workers than on the day it promotes itself through online discounts? Amazon Prime Day starts this Monday afternoon and runs for 36 hours. Amazon is hoping this day will be a massive day for profits and for PR. That means that Amazon is going to be extra-sensitive and the media will be paying attention. This is the Prime Day to focus the company and the media’s attention to Amazon's abuses.
