tl;dr - Wayfair sold beds to furnish border camps; 547 employees signed a petition to ask that we cease all business with border camps; CEO said no —>employees are walking out tmrw at 1:30pm. We ask that Wayfair donate all profits made from the sale to RAICES #WayfairWalkout
You may be wondering what we're up to; we haven't heard from leadership after a second petition of over 500 names, so employees are having a town hall on Friday to decide what's next for us. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us so far!
We continue in dialogue w/leadership to address this top-down; we’re also taking direct action NOW by encouraging employee to donation to orgs like @RAICESTEXAS via a Wayfair employee matching program! So far we are at $22.7K, which will be doubled by Wayfair. #WayfairWalkout
Does your workplace have an employee matching program? Could you organize a similar initiative? For us, we circulated a simple msg: 1) raise awareness, 2) ask employees to donate and complete official steps to match, 3) circulate a google form for people to note their donation
Huge shoutout to our fellow coworkers in Maine who joined us yesterday in the #WayfairWalkout
Meanwhile employees are also walking out of a Wayfair center in Maine.

Thank you @Wayfair workers who are walking out to protest Wayfair profiting from detention centers. @wayfairwalkout
There should be no assistance in the detention and abuse of migrant children. #DefundHate

In these dark times, seeing this constant stream of employees walk out of the Wayfair offices is making my heart soar.
They are putting their values over personal risk.
They are showing the real power everyday people have.
Heroes!!❤️

We want to remind our colleagues and our partners that we will still continue the dialogue with our leadership team and do not support any current or future leaking of that conversation. We look forward to joining our community as we walk out at 1:30pm.
.@Wayfair stated in an email today that they will be making a donation of $100k to the @RedCross. This is great news! And proof that Wayfair can & does do good.
However, the Red Cross has nothing to do with these ICE-operated facilities.

#WayfairWalkout friends! Trinity Church at Copley Square is aware of the walkout today. They have a blanket policy against using their base, so we want to ask everyone to be an awesome Boston citizen & respect their wishes! Stay in the square & off the steps, please!
