Solidarity with the struggle of 5,800+ Amazon workers in Bessemer, Ala., to unionize continues to grow, following the heroic lead of this majority-Black workforce fighting for justice on the job.

On Feb. 12, the recently initiated Support Alabama Amazon Union campaign brought organizers in Bessemer and over 300 solidarity activists together, including Amazon workers from many locations. In a dynamic organizing meeting titled “How Can We Support the Bessemer Alabama Workers’ Union,” leaders from unions and rank-and-file members, community supporters and even a U.S. Congress member discussed this critical struggle and made plans for the February 20 National Day of Solidarity with Bessemer Amazon workers.
