Overview

• Christy Walton purchased a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on June 8 urging Americans to “mobilize” for No Kings protests on June 14.
• Organizers have scheduled more than 1,800 rallies across the country to coincide with President Trump’s 79th birthday, Flag Day and a planned military parade in Washington, D.C.
• No Kings confirmed it will avoid hosting an event in D.C. itself and instead encourage participants to rally in nearby cities and community gatherings.
• Walton, who inherited her late husband’s stake in Walmart and holds a net worth of about $19.3 billion, has previously funded The Lincoln Project and co-hosted a fundraiser for Kamala Harris.
• In response to Walton’s involvement, some MAGA supporters have called for a boycott of Walmart, targeting the retailer over her anti-Trump activism.
