As we all know, Jeff Bezos has grown Amazon into a worldwide corporation of mammoth proportions. If any company has power to take a bite out of the NRA, it is Amazon. Yet, in the wake of yet another nightmare in which more innocent lives were violently and tragically ripped away, Amazon has yet to join the ranks of other large and powerful businesses who are standing up to an organization that not only refuses to help end gun violence but would exploit these horrid massacres for their own financial gain and encourage future shootings.
Why is Amazon remaining silent? Why is Jeff Bezos continuing to allow the NRA to broadcast through Amazon as if nothing has happened? His silence, like all silence on issues of social concern and safety, is tacit agreement. It needs to stop.
I have started a petition on Change.org with the goal of pressuring Jeff Bezos and Amazon to take a stand and cut ties with the NRA. Send the message that we will not tolerate more gun violence. I hope you will take a moment to sign here: Tell Jeff Bezos to ban the NRA from Amazon!
