A New Coalition of Small-Business Groups Is Urging Congress to Break Up Amazon

Amazon s third-party sellers have long had a love-hate relationship with the ecommerce giant. Some have hit their breaking point. 
On Tuesday, a coalition of more than 20 independent business groups representing main street businesses including booksellers, office supplies sellers, and hardware stores kicked off a joint effort aimed at breaking up Amazon. The group known as Small Business Rising is pushing lawmakers to enact stricter antitrust laws and enforcement measures, as first reported reported by
The Wall Street Journal.
Specifically, the merchant coalition wants the ecommerce giant to separate its retail business from its marketplace of third-party sellers, says Stacy Mitchell, the co-director of the Institute for Local Reliance, a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., that advocates for sustainable community development and key organizer behind Small Business Rising. She adds that the coalition hopes to achieve this by creating opportunities for independent businesses to speak with lawmakers and the media, share their experiences, and talk about the need for policies to level the playing field.

President-elect Joe Biden confirmed on Friday that he would nominate Rhode IslandGov. Gina Raimondo for Commerce Secretary. “She’s one of the most effective, forward-thinking governors in the United States of America,” Biden said in a speech unveiling the pick.
Raimondo had reportedly impressed Biden during the vetting process for vice president, and she was previously floated to run the departments of Treasury and Health and Human Services.
But the Rhode Island governor would move to Washington at a time when her state is facing among the highest COVID-19 infectionand death rates in the country, raising questions about how she might manage the massive and sprawling agency. If confirmed, Raimondo’s responsibilities will range from negotiating trade deals to overseeing the census and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
