Charismanews.com reported: Faith Driven Consumer (FDC), representing 41 million Americans who spend $2 trillion annually, has earned wide recognition for its groundbreaking FaithEqualityIndex.com (FEI), which scores more than 500 major brands for compatibility with the FDC community, and also for its Faith-Friendly Film Review entertainment rating system.
Today, amidst growing consumer backlash over Target's (Faith Equality Index Score 39/100) announcement that it will allow men in women's bathrooms and changing rooms, FDC is calling on its community of 41 million who spend $2 trillion annually to engage in a national #BUYcottWalmart effort by choosing Target's arch-rival Walmart (FEI Score 51/100) and nine alternative brands offering products in competition with Target.
"There's a critical business lesson to be learned with Target's recent decision: When including one group, don't expressly exclude another," said Chris Stone, founder of FDC. "In its statement explaining why it is allowing men in women's bathrooms and changing rooms, Target pointed out that inclusivity is at its core, and that everyone deserves to be protected equally. However, hundreds of thousands of consumers around the country are expressing frustration because they specifically feel excluded by Target's actions and, more importantly, unprotected and unsafe in Target stores. They have reacted by signing up to boycott the retailer. Our question to consumers is: So you've decided to #BoycottTarget, now what?

Done. We’re not going back.
It will be interesting to see if there is any harm done to them. I could sign a petition or agree not to shop there. But then again, I seldom go there in the first place.
Where we’ve shopped Target for years, there’s finally a Walmart going up in the same complex. What’s their bathroom policy?
(Could one ever have imagined it would come to this?)
Thanks for reminding me. just shot off an email to them.
will hit twitter and facebook later :)
Great!
Call them. Tell them what you think. Anyone could do this:
Target Guest Relations at 1-800-440-0680 (press 1 for store experience) and express yourself eloquently.
Plus, it’s always good to read up on Alinsky.
To be effective, you don´t have to boycott all the offending corporations. You just have to boycott *one*. One which has made itself prominent on the issue, and one which is vulnerable to consumer pressure.
You select *one*. Then you hit them hard. Then you keep hitting them hard. You keep it up til you have knocked the stuffing out of them.
The others? They sit up and take notice.
Never shopped there in the first place - awful stores.
I guess a woman’s privacy with her child is worthless to Target, only worthy if the child is dead in an abortion. This is the cynicism of the times.
And all these stupid bimbos saying their gay friends are stupid, never asking what those gay men tell to other men about her in order to sway them away from caring for her, saying how much of a whore she is, how she is fat and boring in sex etc
what idiots. Feminism for men is the war on women with sweeter than you words indeed
*their gay friends is sweet are stupid
I wonder if this Target bathroom policy will have a worse blowback than the JC Penny’s “two fathers commercial” for its father’s day advertising?
I shopped there once, on my Mother’s insistence that I take her there. My credit card was compromised. I have not been back since and don’t plan on going in the future.
One bathroom, one toilet, one sink and somebody on duty to clean it every 10 minutes. We could learn alot from the Japanese.
Excellent advice
I’ve done signed that petition!
It works for me.
That happened to me also. What a freakin mess it was getting automatic payment plans worked out, especially after Visa sent the replacement to the wrong address
I think we’re turning Japanese . . .
I really think so
Americans are pretty filthy. Especially with public bathrooms.
