Support Ryan Brown, Union Leader Fired by Amazon

In a brazen union-busting attempt, Amazon has just fired Ryan Brown, the president of the union movement at its RDU1 facility in Garner, North Carolina. Brown co-founded Carolina Amazonians for Solidarity and Empowerment (CAUSE) almost three years ago. He has bravely led CAUSE's campaign for union recognition and better conditions for the giant facility's miserably treated workers. A victory will make RDU1 the first Amazon facility in the South and only the second in the country to unionize. Fearing a union victory, Amazon fired Brown on completely made-up charges, the third CAUSE activist it has fired this year among other illegal forms of harassment, intimidation, and surveillance.

A full-time worker at Amazon, Brown continues to lead the union. But he needs help with his legal expenses and other bills. Please consider making a contribution, and supporting the struggle of Amazon workers for a living wage and human treatment.
