Nationwide Walmart Boycott Highlights Consumer Push for Corporate Accountability

The People's Union USA leads a weeklong protest against Walmart's tax practices and DEI rollbacks, with plans for broader economic blackouts targeting major corporations.

The Walmart boycott, organized by People's Union USA, runs from April 7 to April 14, 2025, targeting the retailer's rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and alleged tax avoidance.
This protest follows Walmart's $22 billion market valuation drop in March, attributed to declining consumer confidence and economic dissatisfaction.
Organizers are leveraging social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to rally support, with posts gaining significant engagement from followers and supporters.
Walmart has defended its practices, citing its status as a leading corporate taxpayer and its contributions to communities, including $1.7 billion in donations last year.
The boycott is part of a larger 'economic blackout' campaign, with future actions planned against corporations like Amazon, Target, and McDonald's in the coming months.
