If you cannot make it to a protest, please get on the phone or e-mail tell your reps in DC what you think about 47's policies. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.com
No. This is one brave woman, NOT the company as a whole. She married Sam Waltons son, who has passed away years ago now. Walmart has already said this is not ‘necessarily’ their view. 🙄
She’s just an in law. She is not part of the company. But on Forbes 2024 top billionaires list last year there were four members of the Walton family in the richest 21.
And she didn't hide behind some front organization - put her name in big letters right at the bottom like John Fucking Hancock on the Declaration of Independence...certainly did not see this coming and my cynic side says there's something else to this.
Guaranteed most of Walmart products are made directly in China or have Chinese parts. The tariffs will make her stock options tank when Walmart isn't the most profitable brick and mortar anymore.
I have a childhood friend who is close with her, he assures me that shes a really good person who wants to use her position for good. Ive never belived him really, but... Idk, good sign I guess.
Except she isn't Walmart. She doesn't speak for the company, doesn't hold a seat on the board, has no policy making role. She owns less than 2% of stock as the widow of 1 of founder's sons. BOD said she doesn't speak for the company. Still, good for her!
There's always one brave person in these corporate regimes that KNOWS what's right and fair and has the courage to speak out at the most important time.
Like Disney...Walmart has ONE person who values this country more than she values her purse.
Thank you. Love, America
Honestly, the electric charging network they're deploying is earning my respect also, still a lasting legacy/ toxic effect on any competitors large and small, but ever so slightly ameliorated
Not Walmart as a company, just one of the majority shareholders. It would be nice if the entirety of Walmart's C-Suite joined with her to decry the current sociopolitical conditions, but they profit too much off of the suffering of the labor class.
At least she did something which is a lot more than some commenters can do. She bought ads in not just ONE paper and this is a medium and power to make sure it's seen with offline people. And she put her name on it which also had an impact. Maga frothing and boycotting Walmart? Triple bonus.
And maga-gots are calling for a boycott of Walmart...like I said before...please maga-gots, stay away from Walmart so I don't have to see you. I hate maga-gots more each day. On Saturday, NO KINGS DAY, I am sneaking over to neighbors and burning their Taco flag...matches ready!
Even from the point of view of cold hard capitalism, it makes sense to preserve the Republic. There a reason people the world over have investments in the US rather than in Eritrea, Myanmar, or North Korea.
The other Walton heirs financially supported the creation of Project 2025. She should be spending money taking down the State Policy Network/Heritage/FedSoc, not slinging shit in a newspaper ad.
You seriously think that Walmart is going to do that?
Get real they don't give a fuck they'll just fire employees asking for higher wages and higher ones dumb enough to take the low ones
This is the same family, The Waltons, who have backed Trump and enabled the Repubs to get to this point where we are now with a fascist President. Call me cynical but part of me believes this is a business move too. Trump’s tariffs have hurt Walmart alot and it’s to their benefit to get rid of him.
Hmm. I just looked her up. I stand corrected. She sounds like quite a character and it is surprising that she would support tomorrow's protests. A conservative, she has a strong interest in the arts. Maybe that is related to her decision.
And what's funny is after that ad came out, MAGA began calling for boycotts against Walmart even though the woman who paid for the ad has no power over anything the chain does and MAGA is pretty much Walmart's base.

As always, Follow the Money.
Big on philanthropy.

Shocked but pleased.
I’ll be out there peacefully protesting.
For real though, the Walton family has had nothing to do with Walmart for years. They made their money and stepped out.

They will cease to exist without immigrant labor .
We just need more on the right side of history 😎
The rule of law doesn’t just protect immigrants and poor people from being deported or imprisoned without due process.
It also protects rich people from having the government just take their money.
Due process protects all of us.
