It’s been more than a week since Members of OUR Walmart embarked on the Ride for Respect – a multi-caravan journey from locations around the country to Bentonville, Arkansas for Walmart’s Annual Shareholders Meeting.
Now, the group of associates, former associates, and supporters are in Bentonville at Walmart’s headquarters, and are making their voices heard.
Tonight at 4:30 PM PST/7:3O PM EST there will be a public forum with a panel discussion on retail jobs, and jobs in the retail supply chain, including warehousing and global suppliers. #Walmartstrikers and allies with be there, and the event will be live streamed so that those of us not in Bentonville can hear from them about why Walmart must stop attempting to silence its workers when they speak up about issues on the job.
OUR Walmart leaders have been canvassing the local Bentonville community and inviting them to the event as well.
Tune in HERE to watch! Speakers will include:
-Aimee Castenell, Color of Change
-Terry O’Neill, National Organization for Women
-Rob Wohl, SumOfUs
-Kim Bobo, Interfaith Worker Justice
-Kalpona Akter, Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity
-Tsehai Almaz Scott, OUR Walmart leader from Crenshaw, CA
-Dr. E Faye Williams, National Congress of Black Women
-Vanessa Ferriera, recently fired associate from Orlando, FL
