This is necessary. Is there was a way to show support for this cause as an Amazon customer? Ditching Amazon as a single individual doesn’t send a message.

Yes:

* During the strike, show solidarity by not crossing picket lines. Don't use the service, and don't patron the business for the duration of the strike. This is because during the strike, the workers that are filling in for the strikers are scabs and crossing the picket line.

* Spread the news, their demands, and encourage solidarity with these workers.

Strength is in numbers and solidarity. When that breaks down, the movement breaks down. It's why many States and companies do everything in their power to prevent the wage-earners from organizing effectively.

I feel like "not using Amazon" doesn't actually do much because they there's no way to send the signal that you're not buying because of the strike as opposed to a million other reasons you might not be spending.

I think a more effective solution would be to keep buying like you normally do but if/when your service is worse due to being short staffed send a message to their support.

Whoever is fulfilling your order during the strike is a scab, and you're helping pay their wage. It is destructive to the strike.

It's about solidarity with the working people and helping with their demands.

The point is to not give money to businesses who workers are striking against.

Doing this destroys the strike.
