Sign the petition re: Guns at Walmart

Sign the petition to tell Walmart to prioritize community safety over profits made from selling guns.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

After the recent tragic shootings in El Paso, it's absolutely unthinkable that Walmart would continue to profit from gun sales. They must stop the sale of guns in their stores now!

Walmart must prioritize community safety over profits made from gun sales. They must stop the sale of guns in their stores now!

Companies like Dick's Sporting Goods and Salesforce have already taken actions to use their economic leverage to curb gun violence.1 

Walmart is one of America's largest gun sellers and must be part of the movement to end gun violence. The company has taken some steps in recent years—but the stores are still selling weapons of destruction and selling bullet-proof backpacks at the same time. Walmart has the power to make a real difference, not just cosmetic changes.

Please join with us and ask Doug McMillon, the Chief Executive of Walmart, to stop the sale of guns in his stores now.

Thank you.
