Save Our Sacred Lands

Come to the mass protest tomorrow and take a stand against the selling off of pubic land! We need land, housing and a dignified life for all! Most importantly, the City of Cape Town must consult the people before making any move. NO to the auctioning off of over 50 properties!

Last night, hundreds of Amazon workers in Frankenthal, Germany, walked off the job for the first time. They defied intimidation from management in the days and weeks before Black Friday – and joined trade union ver.di and the growing global movement to #MakeAmazonPay.

✊@CHoffmanUNI powerful essay on how Amazon’s business model is pushing us all to a breaking point & why workers are pushing back this #BlackFriday to #MakeAmazonPay via @thewire_in thewire.in/rights/heat-cr…

What does Heritage mean to you? #HeritageDay2025

Small yet powerful! Yesterday, South African solidarity groups embarked on an action outside the Amazon African HQ in Cape Town. This company is providing the tech engine of the g-cide! Stop Giant Tech! #notechforapartheid #notechforgenocide

We stand against bullying of activists by politicians!

While Jeff Bezos held a lavish wedding in Venice, Amazon refused to send a high-level representative to testify in the European Parliament. This is an insult to its workers and our democratic institutions. We demand an end to Amazon's contracts with the European institutions.

The River is making a comeback! First big rains of the season and River Club is flooding. You cannot kill Mother Nature, nor Khoi and San heritage.

“The real problem is the model: we shouldn’t be subsidising union-busting, tax-avoiding, anti-democratic companies". @ORoethig spoke to @euobs for this long piece on our proposal for an Amazon Tax. euobserver.com/digital/arb99e…

With the US trade war escalating, we call on @EU_Commission to introduce a digital services tax, or ‘Amazon Tax’. Amazon benefits from a double unfair economic advantages in the EU: low tax rates and lucrative public contracts. This has to end now. uni-europa.org/news/uni-europ…

Our appeal to the Constitutional Court comes after the Gauteng Division of the High Court, Pretoria, inexplicably dismissed our urgent application on 20 December 2024 to compel the state to uphold its constitutional obligations to protect and save the lives of the trapped miners in Stilfontein, North West. In our view, Honourable Madam Justice Mazibuko AJ, with respect, erred in her decision which has the effects of shielding the State from taking the responsibility to sustain the lives of the trapped miners, who, without food, will continue to die.

Human Rights Defender Tauriq Jenkins sets the record straight on the Stilfontein crisis. The respect for the sanctity of life and humanitarian law must be respected. #SaveOurSacredLands #PeopleOverProfit @Newzroom405 youtube.com/watch?v=dOaoMu…

MACUA would like to once again thank all the community volunteers, social movements, unions and charitable organisations that have answered our call to attend to the humanitarian crisis unfolding at Stilfontein while the South African Government and other organisations of the state, particularly the South African police Service, tried to use starvation and deprivation of food as tools to bring about law enforcement. We need to please keep donating since the Pretoria North High Court has dismissed our urgent application to compel the state to immediately commence rescue operations and provide food and humanitarian aid to the trapped miners who remain underground in Stilfontein. This is a fundamental denial of the miners’ right to life. We remain resolute in support of the miners, and we will do everything in our power to fight, and we would appreciate donations towards the BackaBuddy account in solidarity with the miners. We also need to continue putting pressure on the South African Government to do an immediate evacuation of the trapped miners underground. Don’t stop sharing the donation link in your networks and don’t stop talking about this. Please keep spreading the word and keep advocating for the right to life of artisanal miners!

BREAKING: We just demanded union recognition at KSBD -- Amazon's largest air hub on the West Coast! We've been organizing for years and today a majority of us came together to demand that Amazon recognize us as Teamsters and bargain a union contract!

A message from Save Our Sacred Lands in solidarity with Amazon workers facing dangerous and unjust conditions. From labour abuses to destruction of indigenous land and genocidal tech, Amazon's crimes are clear. We applaud NYC workers striking during peak season! #MakeAmazonPay

🇺🇸🇩🇪@amazonteamsters & @_verdi striking together to demand fair treatment, dignity & respect for Amazon workers everywhere. 👊Today & everyday: #MakeAmazonPay
