Who We Are

Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ) is an organization of Amazon corporate workers who care about climate justice. Our vision diverges from our senior leadership’s vision, which fails to be ambitious enough to meet the challenges of our time. We imagine a different Amazon, one in which Amazon truly contributes to the solutions needed to build a world that is sustainable for our planet, our workers, and our communities. We invite you to share your own thoughts with us, and read our full research report.

What we know now: we don't trust the current leadership to solve this on their own, and leadership has made changes before due to employee pressure. As workers, we are the best bet to keep the world's biggest companies on track to make the change we know we need. With your help, we can do this. Join us!

Our History

Our organization began with what we are still doing now: bringing together coworkers who want Amazon to do more on climate. 

In December 2018, we started with a shareholder resolution asking Amazon to create a comprehensive, company-wide plan to reduce fossil fuel dependency. In 2019, we organized thousands of our coworkers to walkout as part of the Global Climate Strike, leading to Amazon’s Climate Pledge announcement.

Through grassroots, worker-powered organizing, we champion climate solutions that understand racism is deeply connected to the systems that exacerbate the climate crisis. As a group, we have proven that we can influence Amazon’s climate commitments, and that employees working together can build power to pressure large corporations to change.
