Wayfair needs to hear from the public (sign the petition)

Sign the petition to demand Wayfair stop profiting from human rights atrocities, which include the abuse of children.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Workers at Wayfair, a company known for selling furniture, are protesting over their employer's business relationship with detention centers where migrants are being held in awful, inhumane conditions.

I'm inspired by Wayfair workers who are protesting the corporation's sale of over $200,000 worth of furniture to a migrant detention facility in Texas and potentially other locations.1

Sign the petition demanding Wayfair stop profiting from migrant detention centers.

Demand that Wayfair stop profiting from this human rights atrocity which includes the abuse of children, and tell them to donate profits to RAICES to help migrant families.

We agree with the demands of the Wayfair Walkout:

  • Cease all current and future business with BCFS and other contractors participating in the operation of migrant detention camps at our Southern border (or any other location). BCFS is a company that "partners with government agencies, corporations, non-profits, and community leaders to develop programs and service models that combat challenges in health and human services" and has received over $179 million in federal contracts since 2015.2
  • Establish a code of ethics for business-to-business sales that empowers Wayfair and its employees to act in accordance with their core values
  • Donate all profits from completed sales to the organization Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES)

Thanks!
