Calls for Met Gala boycott overJeff Bezos sponsorship

• A British activist group, Everyone Hates Elon, is calling for a boycott of this year's Met Gala due to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's sponsorship.
• Posters have appeared near the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, criticising Bezos and Amazon for alleged ties to ICE and worker exploitation.
• Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, were announced in November as lead sponsors for the prestigious fashion event, a role that grants them significant influence.
• The activist group, which describes itself as anti-billionaire, previously protested Bezos's wedding in Venice over tax issues and has raised £10,000 for the current campaign.
• Anna Wintour, Vogue's global editorial director, has defended the couple's involvement, stating Lauren Sánchez Bezos will be a “wonderful asset” to the museum and event.
