Thanks to our partners @GEMmissions for distributing Amazon water donations in Fort Meyers following #Ian. We're in touch with communities to learn what else they need and how we can help. For customers who want to donate, we've set up a portal here: amazon.com/disasterrelief

Great piece on Andy's vision for the future of Amazon and what holds us all together. Congratulations to our comms team on their collaboration with TIME to produce an insightful story.

Teams across Amazon have been finding ways to help with the situation in Ukraine. Small in the overall global effort, but building this giant relief station in Slovakia will help lots of people and I'm proud of all my colleagues for jumping in to help aboutamazon.com/news/communi…

Happy for all of our employees around the world who received the recognition they deserve with this ranking. As Andy said, there's much to do and we're working to get better every day, but it's right that Fortune saw the big picture of what the company does for people today.
Proud of the fact that Amazon has been voted one of the most admired companies in the world for the sixth year straight (#2). We have a lot to keep working on, and committed to getting better every day, but feel lucky to work with the folks that I do. fortune.com/company/amazon-c…

As an alum and Amazonian, very proud and excited we are doing this. Seattle U was educating underrepresented groups in STEM long before the issue was making headlines. SU isn’t chasing the wave, the wave is catching them. geekwire.com/2019/amazon-con…

#FactCheck: Washington Monthly sr. editor/policy director of partisan Open Markets is incorrect on our pricing. Amazon doesn’t personalize prices – it’s been a myth for years and isn’t true. Prices at any given time are the same for all customers. amzn.to/2ZeRYag

Little known area of Amazon doing remarkable work for the environment, customer package frustration, and brands. Cool video
From a big bottle to a small box, our partners at @Tide updated their product and packaging to make it more earth-friendly and more delivery-friendly. amzn.to/2X0chag

Strong start for what we hope will be a very meaningful boost for youth across the country.
Our Amazon Future Engineer program has reached an important milestone: more than 1,000 U.S. high schools in underprivileged communities now have access to computer science courses. Read more on our blog. amzn.to/2XgunVN

Very sad to hear of Paul Allen’s passing. His passion for invention and pushing forward inspired so many. He was relentless to the end. My heart goes out to Paul’s family and friends.

Amazing story.
When Mindy Espidio-Garcia's 9-year-old daughter, Alana, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2017, her Amazon co-workers stepped in to help. blog.aboutamazon.com/operati…

Gotta hand it to SPD, you all nailed this one! Thanks for all you do to keep Seattleites safe and for rocking some hometown pride!
Seattle is a film and music town, so we made a music video. A huge thank you to the people of Seattle. Without you, none of this would have been possible. @metpoliceuk, what you got? #DowntownLipSync #CommunityPolicing youtu.be/H_or8biB1K4

Amazon isn’t just creating a massive number of jobs in the US. We are also creating jobs and opportunities across Europe — and like the US — many of these jobs are in areas hit hard economically by industries that have faded and taken jobs with them.
18,000 new #Jobs to be created in 2018, growing to 83,000 Amazonians in Europe #AmazonJobs – bit.ly/2L6eaQK
