Sharpton called the meeting "very constructive and candid" and vowed to communicate key outcomes to his allies, including Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant. The discussion highlighted tensions surrounding recent political shifts affecting corporate DEI policies, with Sharpton emphasizing accountability ahead of elections. Additionally, Target faces a lawsuit alleging deceiving investors regarding its stance on LGBTQ activism, reflecting significant investor concerns about its policies.
You can't have an election come and all of a sudden, change your old positions. If an election determines your commitment to fairness, then fine, you have a right to withdraw from us, but then we have a right to withdraw from you.
Sharpton described his meeting with Target CEO Brian Cornell as "very constructive and candid," indicating a willingness to open a dialogue regarding the company's DEI initiatives.
