Walmart heiress Christy Walton reportedly paid for a full-page color advertisement in the New York Times this week that appears to promote the No Kings protests scheduled for June 14.
The ad encourages the American public to defend the Constitution, stand against dictatorship and support allies and trading partners.
“The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale,” the advertisement reads.
The ad includes text confirming that it was “paid for by Christy Walton” and a disclaimer that the views therein are solely Walton’s.
Christy Walton is the widow of John Walton, who was the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton. At the time of her husband’s death in 2005, Christy Walton became heir to more than $18 billion.
She is an active philanthropist and political donor, having supported The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC, in 2020.

No Kings Call for Veterans & Military Families
Thursday, June 12th
7PM ET
ZoomJoin veteran organizers from Common Defense and other partners for a special call for veterans and military families taking part in NO KINGS mobilizations on June 14. We will discuss the special role veterans’ voices have to play in this pivotal moment and how our veterans and military families can show up on June 14th.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Based on the organizations shown in your images from the No Kings partners page, there is clear public documentation that George Soros, through his Open Society Foundations or related entities, has funded at least the following:
-
ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union): The ACLU received a $50 million grant from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations to fund an eight-year campaign targeting mass incarceration in the United States5.
-
Planned Parenthood Action Fund: Internal documents from Soros’ Open Society Policy Center show that a seven-figure grant was planned for Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s lobbying and advocacy efforts, though it is not confirmed whether the funds were disbursed6.
-
Sierra Club: The Sierra Club has received funding via the Soros-funded Tides Foundation, which acts as a pass-through for various donors, including George Soros7.
Other organizations on the list may have received indirect or project-based support from Soros-backed entities, but the three above have direct, well-documented financial connections to George Soros or his foundations567
