Dear MoveOn member,
Sign the petition to demand Amazon stop donating to anti-abortion and anti-labor Republicans.
Dear MoveOn member,
Last year, sales during Amazon Prime Day surpassed $11 BILLION.1 These are the very same profits that Amazon will then turn into campaign donations for anti-labor and anti-abortion Republicans. Amazon and the rest of corporate America want to reap the benefits of appearing abortion positive without actually having to stop their donations to candidates that would ban abortion. Last month, when the rigged right-wing Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Amazon and a number of other corporations have signaled that they would support employees and staff in accessing abortion care.2 But this is just a performative attempt to put a band-aid on a crisis they've fueled.
These megacorporations—from AT&T and Disney to Amazon—have donated to Republicans and extremists for years, including Republican governors who are now signing abortion bans into law.3 Corporate America actually represents some of the largest supporters of anti-abortion Republican candidates at the local, state, and federal levels.
Before Roe was overturned, Amazon released a statement that “team members should get the care they need" and has offered to reimburse their staff for travel.4 But that alone is simply not enough to combat an issue they’ve helped create. Today, on Prime Day, Amazon has the opportunity to actually support their staff, by ending all donations to Republican and right-wing extremist candidates who support abortion bans and fight against worker’s rights across the country.
Thanks for all you do.

The Fatal Effects of Transphobia
November 22, 2011 • By Dr. Amy Marsh, EdD, DHS, ACS, CHT, Sexuality / Sex Therapy Topic Expert Contributor
In May this year, 16 people lost their lives to transphobic violence and hate: 11 in Brazil, and one each in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela. I know, because just a couple of days ago I read aloud the names of each departed soul at the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) observance in Oakland, CA. Of course, not all the names were known. Most were women, transgendered women, and if their names were not known, we usually knew something of where they lost their lives: their apartments, the street, a bathroom, on a bus… In May, their ages (if known) ranged from 15 to 39. Mercifully, I did not have to read the details of how each person was murdered. After each name, or “name unknown,” a small gong sounded, and I went on to the next person on the list.
When we finished reading the roll of the dead from Nov. 20, 2010 through Nov. 19, 2011, we found we had a significant increase, from the previous year. Transgender people (again, mostly women) are tortured, shot, strangled, burned, stabbed, beaten, dragged to death, or have their throat slit. Death comes suddenly. In the street, on the bus, at home. Frequently, they are dismembered, as Shelley “Treasure” Hilliard was in Detroit, earlier this month – her burnt torso found next to a freeway.
Sometimes they have also been raped.
Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1998 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, in response to the murder of Rita Hester. Rita was stabbed over 20 times in her chest, while at home in her Massachusetts apartment. TDoR has since become an international day of action and mourning. However activists who organize local observances, such as Tiffany Woods, program coordinator for the TransVision Clinic in Alameda County, CA, are sick of the continuing carnage. “I am angry that we still have to put on this memorial, and yes, it is a memorial.” Woods writes, “The murder and violence continue.”
Such mayhem is sickening, uncivilized, and dangerously out of control. The violence against trans women, in particular, also contains a measure of misogyny which should alarm us all. Trans men are also not immune to the violence born of profound ignorance, nurtured in a culture of hate for all who do not conform to the narrowest (and most artificial) binary standards. Trans and gender variant people are subjected to incidents of violence and discrimination which are inflicted on them simply because of their gender expression. We already know that racism, sexism, and homophobia are not only morally wrong, but ultimately counterproductive for a civil society. We need to add transphobia to that list.
As mental health and complementary professionals, we must do a better job of countering the corrosive and brutal effects of transphobia (as well as all other forms of prejudice, social injustice, and hate). If we are presently uncomfortable with serving gender variant and trans people, we can get more training and broaden our understanding of people with non-binary gender. We can even learn to use new pronouns, such as the gender-neutral “hir,” “ze,” or “zir.” Better yet, we can learn to ask people what pronoun they prefer
