The boycott is intended to draw attention to corporate practices deemed greedy and corrupt, similar to previous boycotts that targeted retailers like Target for similar rollbacks on DEI initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Despite initiating this boycott, Walmart appears to have been relatively resilient, experiencing only minor declines in traffic among consumers of different ethnic backgrounds following its shift away from DEI programs.previous data showed that while Walmart&#8217;s web traffic dropped approximately 5% during an earlier boycott, it remained less affected than Target, which suffered a 9% decline. In contrast, companies like costco that have maintained their DEI commitments saw increased traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The People\u2019s Union USA has more protests planned, with upcoming boycotts targeting other companies, including General Mills and PepsiCo, indicating a broader movement against perceived corporate disregard for social issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Walmart is facing a boycott starting on Monday, April 7, over purported corporate greed, a move that also comes after it halted many diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.<\/p>\n<p>The company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bullying-works-worlds-largest-retailer-ditching-diversity-nonsense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">decided<\/a> late last year that it would discontinue racial equity training, stop funding its racial equity center, and cease participation in the Human Rights Campaign&rsquo;s Corporate Equality Index.<\/p>\n<p>A group called People&rsquo;s Union USA is calling for a one-week boycott on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/walmart-unveils-first-rebranding-years-customers-left-scratching-heads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The tactics will be similar to the boycotts which highlighted Target over similar moves to roll back DEI, but the one over Walmart is actually about corporate greed and corruption, according to a Friday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supermarketnews.com\/company-news\/walmart-is-the-target-of-a-new-boycott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from Supermarket News.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No matter what side of the political fence you stand on, you should be able to agree that corporate greed and political corruption are choking this country,&rdquo;
