What is the Philadelphia Community Action Network?
The Philadelphia Community Action Network unites the people who shop in our stores and individuals who want to join Walmart as we work to make a difference on the issues that impact Philadelphia communities. Our website provides the resources you need to learn more about these issues, share your thoughts on the issues with Congress, and connect with other Community members in Philadelphia.
Why does Walmart have an advocacy program?
Walmart strongly believes that we work best when we listen to our consumers, and stand alongside them to achieve positive change. The Philadelphia Community provides a forum for Walmart shoppers to share ideas, learn about legislative issues, and take action by communicating with Congress and even the media. By joining the Philadelphia Community, you are adding your voice to the voices of advocates in your area–and across the nation. By coordinating our voices and our action, we can have a more powerful collective impact on the issues that impact our communities.
What issues is the Philadelphia Community currently involved with?
The Philadelphia Community supports causes that matter to Walmart employees and customers, and the communities we serve. These issues range from health care reform to environmental sustainability.
Why should I join Walmart’s Philadelphia Community Action Network ?
When it comes to making important political decisions, our elected officials need and want input from people like you. Walmart has developed the Philadelphia Community to help you easily find information on the issues that impact you and your community, and to communicate with your local, state, and federal legislators; the media; and other Philadelphians about those issues. Joining the Philadelphia Community gives you access to the resources you need to help make a difference.
Why am I being asked to provide my contact information?
Walmart’s Philadelphia Community Action Network uses your contact information to send periodic email updates and legislative alerts when there’s important news to share. We also use your contact information to ensure that emails you send to Congress through our advocacy tool are delivered to the appropriate legislators. We won’t use your information in any way that violates the terms of our privacy policy.
What if Walmart is not yet in my community? Can I still get involved?
Absolutely! We are working on issues that impact all consumers—not just Walmart shoppers, associates, or neighborhoods—and we welcome support from everyone who shares our goals and ideals.
