“The Walmart Economy” is a new site that aggregates the stories of people trying to get by in the Walmart economy.

“The Walmart Economy” is a new site that aggregates the stories of people trying to get by in the Walmart economy.

The Making Change at Walmart campaign launched the new website called “The Walmart Economy” at http://walmarteconomy.com/. The website aggregates the real life stories of people who are trying to get by in the Walmart economy. The site provides a space where people can share their examples of how the Walmart economy is impacting them.

As Walmart workers gear up for Walmart’s annual shareholders’ meeting, they will be holding actions all across the country. At these events, Walmart workers and their allies will build a wall that represents the true face of the unfair divide growing in the country. The wall will feature photos, images, and objects that represent the struggle to get by in the Walmart economy.

Locals can help Walmart workers show the Waltons and families like them how the Walmart economy impacts everyone by visiting http://walmarteconomy.com/

and share stories or images. Locals can also share their stories and photos on Twitter using the hashtag #WalmartEconomy. OP
