Poor Target. They will have no chance against these ideological predators!

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.
We’re asking people to divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community,” Rev. Jamal Bryant, a prominent Atlanta-area megachurch pastor [see comment] who started the boycott, said in an interview with CNN.
The boycott, which begins during the start of Lent, comes more than a month after Target made changes to its DEI programs and at a difficult period for the company as it faces an onslaught of tariffs in the middle of a challenging economy. [...]
Target is one of dozens of Fortune 500 companies that have backtracked on DEI in response to conservative court decisions, pressure from activists and right-wing legal groups, and, more recently, the Trump administration’s threats to investigate what it characterizes as “illegal DEI,” including potential criminal cases against companies. [...]
Anne and Lucy Dayton, the daughters of one of Target’s co-founders, called the company’s actions “a betrayal.” [...]
Customer visits to Target, Walmart and Costco have slowed over the last four weeks, but they have dropped the most at Target,

As regards the boycotts founder and cited protester:
Jamal Harrison Bryant was born on May 21, 1971, in Boston, Massachusetts,
Officials of the A.M.E. denomination intended, as of February 2008, to enter into discussions regarding Bryant's leadership, following mutual filings for divorce by Bryant, his spouse, Hampton alumna and future Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle Bryant.[7] However, they said that Bryant did not face a disciplinary trial because no one came forward with a complaint against him.
In 2022, in Rashan Ali's "Cool Soror" podcast, he said he wanted to develop a "new gospel for adults" who are used to having sex and wanted to grow marijuana on the land of the church to attract young people to church.[11] Bishop Patrick Wooden Sr., pastor of the Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, North Carolina, criticized that project, saying that "marijuana is a dangerous drug that leads to depression and suicide, and is a gateway drug, this man is wicked and leading his congregation to be worldly and not righteous." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Harrison_Bryant
It’s raining out....but Target is just down the road. I order on the web and then do pick up. Will make a nice long list today.
These clowns have zero impact. Check out how no one even noticed their Feb 28th buycot. Attention whores doing tricks to keep their sugar daddy’s sending in those donations to their fringe activist groups
They’re such pathetic fools.

I vote with my pocketbook, or more precisely my credit card. I haven’t been in a Fayg Store in over a decade and don’t miss it at all.
See my post above!
“Customer visits to Target, Walmart and Costco have slowed over the last four weeks, but they have dropped the most at Target,“
Utter BS! There has been know slowdown at all.
Lol
Churches that engage in politics should lose their tax exempt status.
OK so the minority is going to boycott, knowing target they will go back to DEI and the majority will not shop. stupid company stupid people
Some sins are, in political terms, unforgivable. Target lost me and my wife as customers when they pushed perversion in their stores. The apology isn’t acceptable. They need to go out of business. So does AH that makes Bud Lite. So does Kroger. They’re not truly repentance, they’re just trying to stay in business.

What in the name of Moloch is a “pastor of biology” ?
I shop there all the time...prices are good and it's close buy. At least I know where they stand.
Ahhh cr@p. I haven’t shopped Target in over a decade because of their liberal, nutjob policies.
I do miss their corn / biscuit / crackers - or whatever they were called. I wonder if they still sell them.
Decisions, decisions ...
True, allegiance to profits to the exclusion of proven moral principals.
They lost me years ago as a customer when they banned the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign from their front doors at Christmastime.
More people will go to target now because they think it will be less crowded.
On the contrary. Target ditched it gay and blm nonsense, more people have started re shopping there.
I’ve avoided Target like the plague, but I just might drop by today and buy something there.
