Summary

Racial justice group leaders called for a national boycott of Target during a rally Thursday in front of the offices of the Minneapolis-based retailer.

Target announced last week that it would end its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and investments. The initiatives include a program it established aimed at helping Black employees build meaningful careers, improving the experience of Black shoppers and promoting Black-owned businesses, following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.

    I am finding that once I filter out the impulse/season junk that Target is quite adept at convincing me to buy, I can probably get everything I actually need between Costco for staples and a lot of clothing, grocery stores for food, hardware stores for general home needs and basic housewares. Still, it is disappointing that Target has demonstrated that they are kind of shitty.
