We love to see it! From LEED Platinum-certified buildings at HQ2 across the river to testing e-cargo bikes on D.C. streets, @Amazon is investing in more sustainable solutions in the region. We're proud to be part of this community.

Meet Amazon's e-cargo bike in D.C.: a four-wheeled, battery-powered delivery solution complete with rear cameras, regenerative braking, and automatic parking brakes. 🚲⚡ The e-cargo bikes can fit in bike lanes and carry a secure rear cargo hold full of packages. They also have covered seating and windshield wipers for the delivery associates riding them. You may have already seen our e-cargo bikes in New York City. They can navigate streets and make stops where full-size vans aren't always practical thanks to tight streets, heavy traffic, and limited parking. Washington, D.C. is now the latest U.S. city to put them to the test.

NEW: @OxfordEconomics research finds expanded low Earth orbit satellite broadband, including @Amazonleo and other providers, could unlock up to $863 billion in global economic value and support 21 million jobs by 2035.
With 2.6 billion people still offline, the connectivity gap is an economic gap. 🧵

Satellite broadband providers like @Amazonleo can reach the unreachable. Think rural areas, island nations, and regions where infrastructure costs are too high.

75,000+ independent sellers hit $1M in sales in @amazon's store last year. That's a 36% jump from 2024.

EU small businesses hit a record €40B in sales on Amazon in 2025, but compliance burdens, including varying VAT rules, mean the smallest sellers pay the highest price. Extending Deemed Supplier rules to all sellers would close fraud loopholes & create a level playing field.

Great to see the @USDOL's "Make America AI-Ready" initiative: free AI literacy delivered by text message to help American workers build foundational AI skills. Amazon is proud to provide infrastructure and credits to Arist to help deliver this effort. arist.com/resources/blog…

We applaud @BrendanCarrFCC for advancing efforts at the @FCC to modernize outdated satellite broadband regulations. Updating decades-old power limits isn't just about technology—it's about connecting people across the United States who still lack broadband access. These reforms would unlock billions in new economic activity, expand broadband capacity, and deliver faster internet to communities that need it most.
