   Hey, anyone in the know!
   
   https://teamster.org/2024/12/teamsters-launch-largest-strike-against-amazon-in-american-history/
   
   What's the best way to support this strike? Not purchase from Amazon to show solidarity? Or specifically buy from Amazon to make sure they feel the pressure of the withheld labor?
   
   I feel like the answer is "don't buy", which I'm already doing, but as far as I could see the press release doesn't say anything specific about how to show solidarity and support and help.
   
   Thank you!

     @aud @sipi_xo I haven’t seen any calls from the workers for a boycott, myself. (Happy to be corrected on this, of course!) I *have* seen invitations to join a picket line if there’s one near you (https://www.tdu.org/amazon-teamsters-peak-season-strike-2024), and there’s a strike fund for the workers at JFK8 specifically (https://www.amazonlaborunion.org/strike-fundraising).
