Defend Democracy! Denounce White Supremacy!
Amazon Watch Statement regarding the coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021
January 7, 2021
At Amazon Watch, we are deeply disturbed by the violence that threatened democracy and the peaceful transfer of power in the United States of America yesterday. As an international human rights and environmental organization based in the U.S., Amazon Watch denounces the white supremacist violence and attempted coup at the United States Capitol, incited by the President and some of his supporters in Congress. We support calls for urgent and immediate action, including the removal of President Trump from office.
