Heather Jane Johnson, feeling betrayed by her fellow Americans, joined anti-Bezos activists in Venice after learning about his wedding in the city. Once a bookseller, Johnson's sentiments echo a broader discontent against capitalism symbolized by Bezos. The activists are primarily based at Laboratorio Occupato Morion, a venue dedicated to various progressive causes. Despite the glamorous backdrop of Venice, the group highlights pressing issues like climate change and social justice. Johnson, among others, finds solace and hope in the activism of the younger generation, reinstating her faith in humanity as they prepare to protest the billionaire's celebration.
A big reason I moved to Italy is because I felt betrayed by my countrypeople.
This is the house of many struggles, says Federica Toninello.
These young people have really restored my faith in humanity, Johnson says.
Let's say that this is the house of many struggles, an anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist and trans-feminist political space.
