Protesters marched to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ palatial Beverly Hills mansion to demand the company address environmental and labor issues that came to a head during the pandemic.

A coalition of labor and environmental activists gathered at Will Rogers Memorial Park on Sunset Boulevard to decry Bezos and his multi-billion dollar e-commerce empire during ‘The Wrong Amazon is Burning’ event.

The Congress and Essential Workers, a group of current and former Amazon warehouse employees, organized the rally and it was spearheaded by Chris Smalls of Staten Island, New York.

Smalls, a former Amazon warehouse staffer, was fired from his position in March after he organized a protest over what he described as a lack of PPE and hazard pay amid the coronavirus pandemic.

‘We demand that Jeff Bezos and the rest of the billionaire class pay their fair share to deal with the climate crisis,’ TCOEW said in a statement.

‘We are calling for a decent living wage of $30/hour minimum for all Amazon employees, Medicare and childcare for all, and the right to unionize without fear of retaliation. These are just a few of the issues that we feel billionaires like Jeff Bezos, who makes nearly $4,000 a second, can absolutely help relieve or resolve.’

The crowd of demonstrators who shouted ‘f*** Bezos,’ who’s worth $185billion, were joined by climate activist groups Sunrise Movement and Extinction Rebellion.
