Amazon employees call on Amazon to stop selling books deemed as anti-trans
the group previously circulated to get Amazon to stop selling anti-trans books, it specifically named two titles:Johnny the Walrus
by American conservative political commentator Matt Walsh."By continuing to sell and promote anti-trans books and repeating the rhetoric of the anti-trans hate movement, Amazon upper management has allowed the store that we build and operate to be complicit in [the anti-trans] hate movement," the petition reads.
At least one employee who participated in the event quit the company this week. Senior software engineer Lina Jodoin explained that it's more than just about the sale of those books, but also about the response they've gotten from management when they tried to escalate their concerns. And based on the company's response to the protest, it will keep on selling those titles."As a company, we believe strongly in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
