That would be the mail order retailer, not the South American rainforest, although products harmful to the proper Amazon should be boycotted too
DiEM25, a consortium of public figures and trade unions, including the former Greek Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis who famously went toe-to-toe against the EU finance "Troika" in the Greek financial crisis, is urging the public to boycott Amazon in the Black Friday sales. The protest has come to the attention of the mainstream media, since I read it in the news.
The campaign seems to embody the anti-establishment mood of the moment, with France notably already having made the same outfit delay their country's black friday promotion till after the 'lockdown'.

Yanis Varoufakis calls for the boycott of Amazon on Black Friday!
This Black Friday, Friday, the 27th of November 2020 we’re asking you to refrain from buying anything from Amazon.com.
We’re asking you to not even visit Amazon.com on that day. Just for one day. We are asking you to join our global campaign to make Amazon pay. On this day, by boycotting Amazon you will be adding your strength to an international coalition of workers and activists from the ITUC, UNI Global Union, and Public Services International, and Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, to the Tax Justice Network, and Data for Black Lives. Amazon is not a mere company. It is not merely a monopolistic mega-firm. It is far more, and far worse, than that. It is the pillar of a new techno-feudalism.
