Overview

  • The People's Union USA's Walmart boycott runs from April 7 to April 14, urging consumers to halt spending at retail stores, online platforms, and related services.
  • The movement protests Walmart's rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which organizers say undermines workplace equality and social progress.
  • Organizers are demanding corporations like Walmart pay a 'fair share' of taxes to reduce the financial burden on working Americans.
  • John Schwartz, founder of The People's Union USA, emphasized the boycott as a strategic act of economic resistance to challenge corporate power and political corruption.
  • Walmart's market valuation dropped by $22 billion in March 2025, reflecting declining consumer confidence as the movement gained momentum.
