IASJ and Others Launch Director “Vote No” at Amazon
April 20, 2026
IASJ and a group of concerned investors launched a director “Vote No” campaign at Amazon ahead of the Company’s May 20 AGM. Other signatories to the “Vote No” campaign include: American Baptist Home Mission Societies, Oxfam America, SOC Investment Group, and United for Respect Education Fund.
The “Vote No” campaign urges Amazon shareholders to vote AGAINST the re-election of Jonathan Rubinstein, Jamie Gorelick, and Andrew Ng, members of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee (Nom and Gov Committee), and Patricia Stonesifer, former member of the Nom and Gov Committee, for their decision this year to unilaterally exclude new shareholder proposals filed at Amazon. We believe the Board has failed to meaningfully engage shareholder proponents, respond constructively to votes, or refresh the committee overseeing its governance practices.
Amazon Has a History of Performative Engagement. We believe that refreshment of the Nom and Gov Committee is long overdue, and would provide the Amazon Board with an opportunity to identify directors who appreciate shareholder engagement and could oversee meaningful changes to Amazon’s governance practices. We urge Amazon investors to vote against Directors Rubinstein, Gorelick, Ng, and Stonesifer.
