Tell Amazon: It's Time to do the Right Thing!

if you go onto Amazon today and type “Hebrew” into the Amazon search bar, almost every top result will include an iteration of the Anti- Semitic film “Hebrews to Negros.” Join ADL in calling on Amazon to take action today to stop selling hate on their platform.



Promoting vicious and hateful propaganda in the name of increasing sales makes our communities less safe. Amazon can and must do better. Join ADL in demanding that Amazon stop giving a platform to antisemitism and stop the sale of hateful products.

• Attend a two-hour orientation and training prior to the day of the Count.

Orientations will be hosted on the following days and times:

• Tuesday, Jan. 10 from 6 to 8 pm via Zoom
• Thursday, Jan. 12 from 6 to 8 pm at the Long Beach Multi-Service Center (1301 W. 12th St.)
• Wednesday, Jan. 18 from 6 to 8 pm at the Long Beach Multi-Service Center
• Thursday, Jan. 19 from 6 to 8 pm via Zoom

Commit to a four-hour canvassing shift on Thursday, January 26, 2023. Volunteers will be expected to report at 4:30 am and be dispatched to the field by 5 am.
