Amnesty is proud to stand with many many others in calling out the few who plunder the earth at the expense of the majority. Human rights are not for sale, nor is the planet on which we all depend. @erikaguevararosas.bsky.social
The richest 1% emit as much carbon pollution as the poorest 5 billion people combined.
Exploitation of Earth's resources is benefiting the wealthiest at the expense of the majority

Is our civilization worth risking for the wealthiest 1%?🚨

It's #BlackFriday week: Amazon is poised to make record sales worldwide.

While Amazon squeezes its workers, Jeff Bezos’s net worth has hit an all-time high of $228bn.

The UK must not allow large corporations to get away with offshoring their profits in tax havens.

The UK is failing to tax multinational corporations, like Amazon, fairly.

Over 110,000 people petitioned the Chancellor to act. We handed their signatures into Downing Street today.

It’s time to #MakeAmazonPay.
