    We don’t know that Walton is funding the RALLY, but she definitely paid for the AD. Big difference.

    But the guy is wrong saying"WalMart paid for it", Walton paid for it. Again, big difference.

      Walmart heiress Christy Walton bought ONE full-page color ad in the New York Times. The rallies themselves appear to be independently organized — you can volunteer to host one on their site — and you can get a good idea of who’s actively involved in organizing them by looking at their partners page.

      The Walton who paid for the ad was married into the family. The Walton descendants don’t seem to be involved. Not getting to cause a divide but thought it was worth noting.
