Walmart Boycott: What it is and how it is different from Boycott calls against Target and Amazon

A weeklong boycott of Walmart in the US starts April 7, the latest in a series of economic blackouts organized by the People’s Union USA. The group has called for a week-long Walmart boycott, beginning Monday. The advocacy group, which was created in February, has previously organised national boycotts of retailers who canceled their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. These include Target and Amazon.

Starting in late February, the group has organised a day of total economic blackout and boycott of Amazon. However, unlike the February 28 protests that targeted retailers like Target that have cancelled their DEI programmes, the newest boycotts are said to be about corporate greed and political corruption, according to a post on the People’s Union USA website.
