Met Gala boycott message projected on Jeff Bezos’ New York apartment

Video messages were projected on Jeff Bezos’ Manhattan penthouse on the eve of the Met Gala, condemning Amazon’s complicity in the Gaza genocide and ICE crackdowns on immigrants in the US.

“Amazon is heavily invested in this genocide. They invest $7.2 billion into Project Nimbus, a project that is being used to fund and power the technology being used to surveil and target innocent Palestinians. Also, we all know that Amazon has ties to Ice. They have powering ice devices,” says one Amazon worker that was laid off in a recorded video.

The messages are part of a wider campaign calling for the boycott of the Met Gala after it named Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos as honorary chairs.
