Calling all Community Members, activists, friends, and family to stand with us against injustice on our streets and in our communities.

April 30th will mark the 1 year anniversary since Dontre Hamilton was murdered by a Milwaukee Police Officer, for resting in a public park. This case has galvanized our city and allowed us to push for changes that will make our community’s safer, but the work is not done yet. Please join us for this event as we come together to honor the life of our fallen brother(s), but also gear up for a spring and summer of action in the name of justice. We are lifting up the names of our other brothers in Milwaukee/Madison as well (Derek Williams, Corey Stingley, Brandon Johnson, Darius Simmions, Tony Robinson, James Perry, etc) and paying tribute to their sacrifice.

They wanted us to go away. They wanted us to stop. They wanted us to be satisfied. But we are not, and we wont be until Black life is valued and respected in our city. We won’t be satisfied until the stigmas around mental health, and homeless are lifted from the veils or our city officials and community members. We won’t be satisfied until justice is synonymous with Milwaukee, and we have shaped this city to be a place where equality and equity are they way of life, not a unique experience for a select group of people. We will get justice! Please join us.

More details about the order of the event will come as we draw closer toward the event. Please help us out and invite your friends, your family, your organizations, and your community. We want the whole city to come out and stand with us. This is our fight for our city! Lets make some noise.

Sisters and Brothers,

We need your help. On Monday, April 13^th, more than 500 of my coworkers and I were suddenly laid off at the Pico Rivera Walmart store in Southern California, with no more than hours’ notice. It’s not right, and we have to do something about it.

The Pico Rivera store was the first-ever store where Walmart workers went on strike, sparking a nationwide movement for change. Over the last several years, we’ve inspired thousands of Walmart workers around the country to stand up for better treatment, better pay, and respect. Now we need your help as we fight to save our jobs.

Can you call Walmart corporate headquarters and tell CEO Doug McMillon to reinstate all of the workers laid off in the recent store closings? Call (479) 273-4000 and press 3 for their main office.

Pico Rivera was one of five stores shut down suddenly around the country, totaling more than 2,000 workers who were laid off without guarantee of getting our old jobs back, or even a transfer to a nearby store. Walmart says all these stores have plumbing problems, but city officials in Pico Rivera and the other locations are saying Walmart hasn’t applied for any plumbing work permits.

Maybe Walmart thinks that by closing the store, they can stifle our movement. Little do they know the company has only added fuel to the fire. I’m a single mom of three children who has worked at Pico Rivera for four years. I worry how I’ll pay my rent, but I won’t stop fighting for what’s right. We won’t tolerate this kind of retaliation when we just want a better life for ourselves and our families.

Will you call Walmart corporate headquarters and ask for CEO Doug McMillon today? Ask that workers be transferred to a nearby Walmart store and given our jobs back when our store reopens: 479-273-4000 (Press 3 for their main office.)

We are all Pico Rivera. Let’s show Walmart that we’ll keep fighting, no matter what obstacles they put in our way.

Thanks for all you do,

Candice Rodriguez
Walmart Worker
Pico Rivera, CA
