Overview

  • Christy Walton funded a full-page New York Times advertisement mobilizing Americans for 'No Kings Day' protests on June 14.
  • The ad presents eight civic principles that implicitly challenge President Trump’s foreign policy and 'America First' agenda without naming him.
  • No Kings organizers say more than 1,800 demonstrations are planned nationwide, including a major march and rally in Philadelphia in lieu of Washington, D.C.
  • Walmart emphasized that Walton holds no board or decision-making role and that the retail giant did not endorse or connect to her ad.
  • Key Trump allies such as Kari Lake and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna have called for a Walmart boycott as President Trump warns protesters will face 'very big force' during his military parade.
