Activists have shown up outside of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ DC home with a guillotine for the second time.
A very similar guillotine was left outside the billionaires house in June as activists demanded the abolition of Amazon.
A video of the activists show a number of people at the home as the guillotine is being assembled. The activists are demanding a $30 minimum wage.

The current activists appear to be apart of The Congress of Essential Workers (TCOEW), which describes itself as a "Collaborative network of essential workers fighting for the elimination of billionaires, wealth redistribution & protection of the working class."
The march was planned by the organization on its website which lists a number of demands for "for Amazon workers and all exploited workers across the globe."
Some of the demands include:
- A minimum of $30 per hour for hourly associates
- Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
- A $2 hourly increase hazard pay
- Paid sick leave for employees who test positive for coronavirus
- Free child and health care
- Shares and annual investments with the company upon employment
Jeff Bezos has recently become the first person in the world to be valued at $200 billion.
