Vote Against Directors Rubinstein, Gorelick, Ng, and Stonesifer
April 20, 2026
We urge you 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 (listed below). 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.
The shareholder proposals, which are the subject of this “Vote No” action, focused on US immigration policy risks, responsible AI alignment, and human rights reporting. The full text of these proposals can be found here.
