Volkswagen can come to the table with autoworkers in Chattanooga and give them the dignity, wages, and safety they deserve. We’ve seen them do it with international auto workers. It shouldn’t be different for workers in Chattanooga, TN. Avoid a strike and meet the reasonable demands, VW!!

For over 35 years, JwJ has projected our strength through a variety of iconic imagery that has shown up on the streets, in community gatherings, and more. With a nod to our past and our eyes on the future, we are thrilled to share a new logo for the next generation of Jobs with Justice.

We’re grateful to @delia.bsky.social for continuing to honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Calvin Morris. He was a mentor, friend, and comrade to many of us in the JWJ Network. He embodied the JWJ way and committed a lifetime to showing up in solidarity with working people.

📢 Repost to demand Amazon stop the abuse.
✍️ Sign the petition to support pregnant workers:
ExposeAmazon.org/pregnancy

#ExposeAmazon #PrimeDay
Top center of the image the white text reads: Sign the petition and stand with pregrant Amazon workers." In a smaller white font below that, the text reads: If you're a current or former Amazon worker who has been injured on the job, share your story at exposeamazon.org! An orange button/banner with purple font reads ADD YOUR NAME. The image is a drawing of two women. The woman on the left is holding a baby on her hip, wearing an amazon vest and holding a sign that says RESPET. The woman to the left is holding her pregnant belly, wearing an Amazon vest, and holding a sign that says SAFETY.

These are not isolated incidents. Amazon routinely violates the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act by denying basic accommodations, like sitting down or avoiding heavy lifting. Most pregnant AMZ workers who shared their stories with us were illegally fired or made the hard decision to quit to stay safe
A drawing of a pregnant woman wearing an amazon vest and holding her back is in the bottom right corner. The woman is looking up in pain. The text reads: "I was 6 months pregnant. I felt like I was about to pass out, so I asked for a fan at my station. The manager told me 'No accommodation? No fan.' But Amazon had been ignoring my accommodation request. - Serina, NY" A drawing of an ambulance is in the bottom right hand corner. It's stylized to look like property of Amazon. The Amazon logo is on the side of the ambulance, with the logo purposefully turned upside down. The text reads: "My doctor said I needed accomodations to stay safe during my high-risk pregnancy. Amazon refused. Ultimately, I left my warehouse in an ambulance. Then, Amazon fired me. - Jennifer, NY" Amazon boxes and packages are scattered throughout the background of this image. Light blue boxes over a darker blue. The text reads: "These actions are illegal under the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Amazon must pass and enforce a policy that complies with federal law."

Now, these brave workers are demanding a meeting with Amazon board member, Edith Cooper. They want justice for pregnant workers. And they need our support.
A headshot of Edith Cooper is in the bottom right of the image, surrounded by a sketchy, white circle. Edith is wearing a pink necklace, and her hair rests above her shoulder. The text reads: "Amazon: Meet with workers! We're calling on Edith Cooper, chair of the Amazon Board Committee responsible for warehouse working conditions to meet with the injured pregnant workers she has been ignoring for close to a year."

🚨 150+ pregnant Amazon workers have come forward to share their stories with @Warehouse_Life. Their stories are devastating:
❌ Miscarriages
❌ Hospital visits
❌ Illegal firings
This image is mostly a text graphic with a drawing of woman in the bottom right corner. The woman has pink hair and is wearing glasses and an Amazon vest. The text reads: 150+ pregnant workers have come forward to #ExposeAmazon. Pregnant Amazon workers are being forced to work at a breakneck pace, lifting 50 lb. packages, and climbing tall ladders - all with big, baby bumps. The impact? Hospital visits, illegal terminations, and even miscarriages."

While Amazon floods your feed with Prime Day ads, they’re also hurting pregnant workers.
#ExposeAmazon #PrimeDay
Top, from left to right, there are portraits of actors Sally Field, Chelsea Handler, Cynthia Nixon, Jane Fonda, Rosario Dawson, Lily Tomlin, and Pamela Adlon. Underneath their portraits, arched purple text reads: 7 Hollywood Actors Signed On on top of an arched orange banner. The main text says "Tell Amazon: STOP hurting pregnant workers." in a white font. The text "send the letter!" sits on top of an orange banner/button. A pregnant woman holding her back and wearing an amazon vest is placed in the background to the right.

🎉✊ HBD to the monumental labor rights leader and organizer, Dolores Huerta.
Two hands reach out from the top of the graphic holding a bunch of bright purple grapes. Juice from the grapes spills out into the spanish words: Honra las manos que cosechan tus cultivos. English translation: Honor the hands that harvest your crops. The quote is attributed to Dolores Huerta in a purple rectangle below the font. The bottom half background is a brown-orange. The top half background is a mix of a sunrise and rainbow, with yellow in the center followed by arcs of color in yellow-orange, orange, red, pink, blue, green.
