Mary Hill & CAUSE: If We Built It, We Can Change It

from Almost Above Average · host Chris Mcintyre

72‑year‑old Amazon warehouse worker Mary “Ma Mary” Hill went viral when her message to Jeff Bezos was projected onto his luxury penthouse during the billionaires’ ball. In this raw conversation, Mary goes beyond the clip to talk about life inside the warehouse, why she co‑founded C.A.U.S.E. (Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity & Empowerment), and what it really means when she says, “If we built it, we can tear it down.”We dig into the human cost of one‑day shipping, the fight to win fair pay, safety, and dignity at Amazon’s RDU1 facility in North Carolina, and how you—whether you’re an Amazon worker or a Prime customer—can stand with Mary and the workers of C.A.U.S.E. instead of just watching the viral video and scrolling on.Take actionSupport Ma Mary directly:Fundraiser for Mary Hill by M Smith: Support Ma Mary!
