About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Meet the Waltons: Christy ($21.5 billion), Jim ($19.6 billion), Alice ($19.3 billion) and S. Robson ($19 billion). Together, the three descendants and daughter-in-law of Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, comprise the richest family in the world.

As four of the top 10 richest Americans, the Waltons are invited to take part in Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's "Giving Pledge," which asks U.S. billionaires to donate at least 50% of their wealth to charity. Tell the Waltons to take the "Giving Pledge" today.

Almost 40 million Americans are currently suffering from debilitating poverty, and the Walton family's acceptance of the "Giving Pledge" would directly ease their suffering, as well as set an example for their fellow billionaires.

Take a moment to sign this petition, and ask Christy, Jim, Alice and Rob Walton to donate half their wealth to charity.

Please Sign On to Buffett and Gates' Giving Pledge!

Dear Walton Family,

As four of the top 10 richest Americans, you've no doubt heard of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates' "Giving Pledge," which encourages billionaires like yourselves to donate at least half their wealth to charity.

I'm asking you all to take the pledge.

Almost 40 million Americans are currently suffering from debilitating poverty, and your acceptance of this philanthropic challenge would directly ease their suffering, as well as set an example for your fellow billionaires. Please join Buffett and Gates in pledging at least fifty percent of your collective wealth to charity.

Thank you.
