First Ever Black Friday in DC!

Start: Friday, November 28, 2014 8:00 AM

STAND WITH DC WALMART WORKERS THIS BLACK FRIDAY!

Walmart pushed its way into DC by offering good jobs for DC residents, even promising $13/hour wages that we now know were pure fiction. In December of last year, the first two stores opened up. Now, less than one year later, Walmart associates in DC are going on strike and calling on the company to pay $15/hour and give consistent full-time hours.

We need all of you - the community - to stand with Walmart associates this Black Friday in saying "no more broken promises!" Walmart needs to provide living wage jobs with full-time hours, jobs that sustain families instead of keeping them mired in poverty. The Walton family, the controlling family of Walmart and owners of more wealth than 42% of American families, need to Respect DC!

On Black Friday morning, we'll gather at Columbus Circle in front of Union Station and then march over to the H Street Walmart store at 99 H St NW.

This Black Friday, on Walmart's biggest sales day of the year and its first Black Friday in DC, help the associates send a message to the Waltons. Join us and sign up here!
