The People’s Union USA is spearheading a nationwide boycott of Walmart from May 20-26, protesting the retailer’s labor practices and community impact. The group alleges economic corruption and criticizes the rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts. Following the Walmart boycott, Target and McDonald’s are slated for similar economic blackouts in June.
The Walmart Boycott is back. The world’s largest retailer faces renewed calls for a nationwide boycott led by The People’s Union USA , the same group behind the weeklong protest in April. The organizers are urging consumers to shun Walmart and its subsidiaries, including Sam’s Club, Walmart Pharmacy, and Walmart+, citing ongoing concerns over the company’s labor practices and community impact. The organisers of the nationwide protests are same.
Walmart Boycott dates
Walmart Boycott starts on May 20 and ends on May 26.
What and Why of Walmart Boycott
The People’s Union USA group encouraged consumers to boycott Walmart because it believes the retailer has contributed to economic corruption. They are protesting against companies that have rolled back their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts after President Donald Trump’s efforts to eliminate federal DEI programs since taking office. According to the group’s website, it aims to “expose corruption and exploitation” and “hold corporations accountable” for unethical business practices that have kept Americans “divided, distracted, and struggling for decades.” “We’re using the one tool that always makes them listen, money,” said The People’s Union USA on its website. “Economic resistance is our frontline weapon. And behind that, we’ve got something they’ll never understand: resilience, strength, and the will to endure. They raise prices, we stop spending. They ignore our voices, we cut their profits. They divide, we unite.” “What we can do is hold these companies accountable for not paying their fair share of taxes, for price gouging and for inequality,” said John Schwarz, the group’s founder.
Walmart on Walmart Boycott
In a statement to USA TODAY, Walmart spokesperson said, “As one of the largest corporate taxpayers in the country, not only do we pay our fair share, we are an economic force multiplier strengthening communities nationwide through job creation, supplier growth, and over $1.7 billion in cash and in-kind donations last year,” it read. ” We remain dedicated to earning the business of all Americans and giving our time and resources to causes that uplift and unite communities who rely on us every day.”
Dates of other planned boycotts
The group has been organizing “economic blackouts” of large corporations since February this year. So far, it has organized specific boycotts aimed at Amazon and General Mills. After the current Walmart boycott concludes, Target and McDonald’s are next on its list. * June 3-9: Target * June 24-30: McDonald’s * July 4: Independence Day Blackout
