Target's recent restructuring of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies has attracted substantial public criticism, leading to a boycott that has persisted for weeks. This upheaval has negatively affected Target's foot traffic and sales, resulting in the lowest stock price in four years. CEO Brian Cornell is scheduled to meet with Al Sharpton to address these changes and their impact on the Black community. Sharpton's stance emphasizes the importance of unwavering commitment to DEI, especially during politically charged times, countering pressures from conservative activists to dilute such policies.
In the three months since Target overhauled its policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion, the retailer has faced an onslaught of public criticism and a boycott that has carried on for weeks.
Sharpton has said he would consider pushing for a boycott of Target as well, depending on the outcome of his discussion with Cornell.
