When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

This sign has been seen at every No Kings event! The only difference is, Merlin won't be joining us. This weekend we are heading back to #Sequim to join our friends and follow activists. This is not a time to sit on the sidelines! Trump wants to silence US. Take our votes away. We won't let him!
