    DELAWARE GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATIVE HALL DOVER, DELAWARE 19901 March 4, 2021 Jeff Bezos Chief Executive Officer Amazon.com, Inc. 410 Terry Ave. N Seattle, WA 98109 Andy Jassy Chief Executive Officer Amazon Web Services 410 Terry Ave. N Seattle, WA 98109 RE: Encouraging a free and fair National Labor Relations Board election Dear Mr. Bezos and Mr. Jassy: Last week President Biden delivered a clear and unequivocal message to Amazon, its many thousands of employees, and the American people: Workers in the United States have the right and the freedom to organize and to advocate for their best interests in the workplace, and no company has the right to silence their voices, period. We write to echo the President’s sentiments and strongly urge Amazon to respect a free and fair National Labor Relations Board election in Bessemer, Alabama that will have implications for workers all across the nation, including several thousand of our constituents in Delaware. Amazon has realized enormous success through the pandemic, reaping record profits while continuing to grow and expand its services to an ever greater number of customers. While technology and innovation play key roles in Amazon’s unprecedented achievements in the world of commerce, your company is built on its workers. Your professional accomplishments and your personal fortunes are directly attributable to the productivity of Amazon’s workforce. Please remember this as you direct your company strategy related to organized labor and the fair treatment of your employees. Reports of the tactics employed by Amazon to oppose the organization effort in Alabama are troubling to say the least.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    IDEAS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD START HERE ANNUAL REPORT & REFERENDUM GUIDE ON THE FRONT COVER Carly Steckline, Dominika Nowakowicz, Jillian Morris, Jacqueline Bajek These AHS seniors organized a dance marathon called appoTHON that incorporated dancing, live music, student- run games and food in the Commons at Appoquinimink High. Hundreds of students participated, raising more than $13,000 for the B+ Foundation, an organization that provides support to children and families battling pediatric cancer. Carissma McGee Carissma shared her love of science and the stars as a volunteer in the children’s program at Delaware’s nonprofit Mount Cuba Astronomical Observatory. Topics she discussed ranged from “How to use a telescope” to cool facts about the solar system, constellations, planets and more. Corey Sparks Corey founded a nonprofit organization that spreads joy to children in need. Dressed as the superhero Spider Man, he visited children in hospitals, special needs daycare centers and even made home visits. “There are so many kids who feel like they are less than others because of a disability. My goal is to bring out the inner superhero in every child I visit!” Paul Butler Paul put together a Summer Jazz Benefit Concert in tribute to his late father. In addition to recruiting performance groups, he secured promotional coverage on TV, and played in an all-student band. The event raised $2,000, money that was distributed between the Colon Cancer Coalition and the AHS Music Department. Appoquinimink issues an annual report to the community each fall. In it, we present standardized testing results and other key indicators including college acceptance rates and persistence.

    DELAWARE GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF DELAWARE LEGISLATIVE HALL DOVER, DELAWARE 19901 January 18, 2018 The Honorable Ryan Zinke Secretary Department of the Interior Washington, DC RE: Delaware Lawmakers Oppose Offshore Drilling Plan Dear Secretary Zinke: Rarely does an issue spark near-universal agreement today, but the plan your office recently unveiled to open 90 percent of the nation’s offshore reserves to drilling has done just that. We write to you as members of the Delaware General Assembly to join Governor John Carney and Attorney General Matt Denn in opposing this drilling plan. As a small coastal state, Delaware’s economy and ecology are dependent upon its waterways and surrounding areas. Any damage to those areas could have significant ramifications for our state. Despite a population of less than 1 million residents, Delaware welcomes more than 7 million visitors annually to just two of the many beach communities along our coast, and tourism is a $7 billion industry that allows thousands of small businesses to thrive. First State watermen rely on their catches from local waters to feed their families. And several unique animal species, such as horseshoe crabs, red knots and piping plovers, call Delaware’s coastline home. Opening these offshore drilling sites to private leases opens the door to oil spills and other environmental hazards. While they might not be on the level of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, any spill or mishap would jeopardize our tourism industry, threaten wildlife habitats and upend residents’ way and quality of life. Since 1969, there have been at least 44 oil spills, each more than 10,000 barrels (420,000 gallons), affecting U.S.
