Wal-Mart has a clever new slogan, "Save Money; Live Better." But how exactly is Wal-Mart helping us live better? By purchasing 70% its goods from China? Or drowning out local economies? Or driving down wages?
Wake Up Wal-Mart has a new web video poking fun at Wal-Mart's absurd new slogan. It opens on a quiet suburban house with children sleeping inside. It is 3 AM. A phone rings.

As the nation's largest employer, Wal-Mart has a giant responsibility. America's largest employer must reflect America's values. But, Wal-Mart will never change on its own.
It's up to us to Wake Up Wal-Mart.
