The recent boycott of Target, organized by Rev. Jamal Bryant and other leaders, protests the company's decision to scale back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Launching on Ash Wednesday, it calls on participants to abstain from shopping at Target for 40 days, framing the action as both a spiritual and economic protest. With significant influence from Black consumers, the boycott aims to hold corporations accountable, ensuring they prioritize marginalized communities rather than yielding to external pressures against DEI efforts. Target has not publicly commented on the boycott, which will last until April 17.
A fast for accountability. A fast for justice. A fast for a future where corporations do not bow to pressure at the expense of marginalized communities.
Target's decision has ignited a movement, urging Black Americans to harness their spending power to advocate for justice and equitable treatment in corporate policies.
