Today is the first day of the Walmart boycott.
There are many reasons to boycott Walmart. I am doing it because they proudly announced that they were no longer participating in DEI initiatives and because they pay starvation wages.
Why only one week? Again there are many reasons but these three are the best ones to me.
1. We don't want a whole lot of people to lose their jobs.
2. There are people in food and or commerce deserts that only have a Walmart to provide the things they need. We can ask that they travel farther or pay more for one week, but it is unreasonable for them to do that forever.
3. We want them to know that their drop in sales is because of the boycott and see how it will be of we do keep the boycott going. This will give them a reason to change.
Now, you can continue to boycott Walmart, if you like, that doesnt bother anyone. I personally will never go back to Target again. But the question of "Why only a week?" Is one that is often asked. And there may be other reasons that you'll hear. But these are the ones that just I, myself, know and believe in.
