Hundreds of Muslim security employees and supporters joined together for massive and emotionally powerful "Pray-In" in front of Amazon’s sprawling campus in Seattle.

Although Amazon strongly condemned President Trump’s illegal Muslim immigration ban and also accommodates the prayer needs of high-paid tech employees, participants called on the company to address alleged incidents of unfair treatment over religion and to create a fair prayer policy that applies equally to everyone working on the campus--including all subcontracted service workers and security officers employed by Security Industry Specialists (SIS).

Will you take a second to send a message – tell Amazon, and the companies with which they contract, they should create a fair prayer policy and apply it equally for all workers.

“My name is Essag, and after I requested prayer space to use on work-breaks, I was put under a secret ‘investigation’ by Amazon security contractor, Security Industry Specialists (SIS). A few weeks later I was terminated without any explanation. I had a spotless work record. This was one of the reasons I tried to form a union at work. Please take a second to send Amazon and SIS a message that this is unfair.”

Everyone should be treated fairly at work -- take a second to support Muslim security workers.

“My name is Ismahan. I proudly served in the U.S. Armed forces because I believe in equality and protecting America. It’s why I joined Amazon's security team as a Security Risk Analyst**.** I used to be able pray on my work-breaks but it all changed when a new manger came to the department. He kept pulling me into meetings to ask about my prayers and not discuss my work duties. I felt he was treating me differently and it was stressful. After making a report to upper management, my prayer materials were moved and even stepped on. I asked HR for the policy around prayer but I was told no policy existed--"it's a grey area.” I went through all the proper channels to get things resolved—HR, upper management, Ethics--but nothing worked. Other Muslim employees in the department, who were under different management, were not experiencing these issues. I tried transferring but it was denied. I finally went on non-paid medical leave because of the stress.”
