AOC Supports Wayfair Workers Walkout to Protest Company Selling Beds for Migrant Children

The conditions that migrant children are being held in at Customs and Border Patrol stations and government contractor facilities is in the national spotlight as the Cloward-Piven strategy of overloading government systems to collapse the system plays out on our southern border with Mexico. Children are being used as pawns by cartels, families, activists and Democrats to weaken and collapse U.S. border and immigration control.

Communist Rep. Alexndria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has likened the conditions migrant children are being held in to concentration camps, is now supporting a Wayfair workers walkout taking place Wednesday at the company’s Boston headquarters over the company refusing woke worker demands to selling beds to government contractors for the children. You read that right, AOC is now protesting children being given beds to sleep on so they don’t have to sleep on concrete floors in overcrowded facilities.

“Wayfair workers couldn’t stomach they were making beds to cage children. They asked the company to stop. CEO said no. Tomorrow, they‘re walking out. This is what solidarity looks like – a reminder that everyday people have real power, as long as we’re brave enough to use it.”

The protest by woke Wayfair workers is being promoted on Twitter:

“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”

“Our demands, as stated in the petition:📣 1) cease all current&future business w/contractors participating in operation of migrant detention camps, 2) establish a code of ethics for B2B sales that empowers employees to act in accordance w/ Wayfair’s core values”

Copies of the correspondence between the woke workers and management below. Wayfair management takes a surprising stand for diversity–of opinion–and respecting customers.

The protest is set for 1:30 p.m. EDT in Boston:

RAICES, a leftist migrant support group singled out by the protesters for support chimed in:

The protest chants should be epic: “Hey, hey, ho, ho! Beds for kids have got to go!”
