Al Sharpton has initiated plans for a boycott targeting companies, including those led by Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, that are moving away from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This announcement came during a speech on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Metropolitan AME Church. Sharpton aims to select a few companies to focus the boycott efforts on, referencing the historical economic tactics used by Dr. King. He criticized Donald Trump's pardoning of Capitol rioters, framing it as an affront to King's legacy.
Sharpton stated, "These companies that are now saying they're going to back up off of diversity and equity and inclusion, should therefore not have a diverse consumer base."
Sharpton criticized Trump for pardoning Capitol rioters, stating, "How do you pardon them without saying you're pardoning Dr. King's meaning?"
