Baltimore & Maryland Amazon Workers for Justice

Baltimore & Maryland Amazon Workers for Justice We are Maryland Amazon workers, present and past, supporters & family members committed to winning justice at Amazon. We invite all to join.

The “We Deserve Better” Workers Assembly held its founding assembly on September 1, 2013, where participants voted to take up a campaign for a $15 minimum wage and to support the struggle of low wage workers. The assembly holds a monthly organizing meeting on the first Wednesday of each month between larger assemblies. It is composed of low wage workers, those who are jobless, youth and students,

and community, union, and civil rights activists. It grew out of 2013 Poor Peoples Campaign March from Baltimore to Washington D.C. initiated by the Baltimore Peoples Power Assembly and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Baltimore chapter. This March, which was on foot for the most part, garnered national support and attention and was conducted on the 45th anniversary of the original Poor Peoples Campaign proposed by Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Workers Assembly’s concept and purpose also resounded at marches and rallies calling for justice for Trayvon Martin, and many of the young participants of those events helped to make the September 1, assembly a success. We called for a national day to raise workers’ wages on October 24th which marked the 75th anniversary of the enactment of the first minimum wage and sent representatives to the September, 2013, Los Angeles AFL-CIO conference as observers. The assembly is actively conducting a petition drive for $15 minimum wage and held many successful protests including Black Friday, in support of the Walmart workers and December 5th in support of the fast food workers. The “We Deserve Better” Workers Assembly is a place where all workers, whether you have a union or not, can call home and where all of our many issues can be addressed. For more information you can call 410-218-4835 or email [email protected].
