Activists Protest Amazon's Influence at Met Gala with Fashion Show
In New York, activists staged a fashion show as a form of protest against Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who were honorary chairs of the 2026 Met Gala. The protest, organized by the group Labor is Art, aimed to highlight the contributions of Amazon workers and criticize the influence of billionaires in cultural events. The Met Gala, supported by a $10 million donation from Bezos, was seen by protesters as prioritizing wealth over the contributions of laborers. Participants in the protest expressed concerns about the commodification of culture and the overshadowing of workers' efforts by the financial power of billionaires.
