On the way back home from that second fire, the group stopped at a different Walmart so that Olson could buy a cell phone. They planned to use that phone to anonymously send a document entitled "Declaration of War and Demands for the People" to various media outlets.
The "Declaration of War" characterized Walmart's policies and business practices as "a crime against humanity" that "validate[d]" the conspirators' "action of war against them." The document included seven demands that Walmart would have to meet for the fires at its stores to stop:
- Pay its employees $18/hour, regardless of full-time status (Demand 1)
- Pay 100% of each employee's health insurance premium (Demand 2)
- Give new moms six months maternity leave and new dads two months paternity leave (Demand 3)
- Pay its CEO no more than five times as much as its lowest-earning employee (Demand 4)
- Implement a climate plan (Demand 5)
- Supply 900 ready-to-eat meals (900 from each store) to people in need each day (Demand 6)
- Produce half of its goods in the United States within five years (Demand 7)
