Job Creators Network’s Boardroom Initiative Reacts to Walmart’s Plans to End Woke Policies

Ed Rensi, Chairman of the Boardroom Initiative, released the following statement in response to Walmart’s plans to end its woke policies:

“Thanks to efforts by groups like the Boardroom Initiative, woke capitalism is on the run. Nowhere is this better exemplified than with Walmart’s decision to end its DEI and transgender efforts. Walmart is the nation’s largest retailer, and its woke surrender will ripple through the economy where DEI is already quickly retreating. Corporate executives are finally recognizing that they should focus on their businesses, customers, and employees, not distracting, divisive issues like woke politics. Conservative groups should keep the pressure on to secure even more victories and end woke capitalism for good.”

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement:

“The defeat of woke capitalism shows the power that conservative groups have when we work together with a single voice. Walmart’s elimination of DEI is a stunning reversal from a couple of years ago when seemingly every corporation was putting its woke political interests above its business, threatening its shareholders and employees. Conservative groups should take this playbook that defeated woke capitalism and use it to achieve other policy wins.”
