The retailer announced in a blog post that the online giving campaign will support the Walmart Spark Fund for Charities at Charities Aid Foundation of America. The retailer pledged to match any donation from U.S. Walmart, Sam’s Club and brand associates as well as its customers until 11:59 p.m. Monday.

Walmart will match up to $4 million, approximately $2 million for associates' donations and $2 million for customers'.

"Martin Luther King, Jr. believed that greatness comes through service," the company wrote."In honor of his servant leadership, the third Monday in January has become recognized as the MLK Day of Service and is intended to be more of day 'on' than a day 'off.'"
Ben Hasan, Walmart's chief global culture, diversity, equity and inclusion officer, says the campaign is part of the company's larger efforts towards addressing "the drivers of systemic racism in society and accelerate change."
As part of its own efforts, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation committed $100 million over the next five years through a new Center for Racial Equity.

I stopped by Walmart earlier, in my highly human area, and the PA system was blasting snivel rights speeches in our ears. It made me hurry up to get the couple of items and get the hell out. It makes me want to establish a James Earl Ray Memorial Fund, if there isn't one already.
