Target Faces Boycott After Becoming Latest U.S. Company to Ban DEI Initiatives

HeadlineJan 28, 2025

Civil rights groups have announced a boycott of Target stores across the U.S. beginning on February 1, after the retail giant said it would end diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, initiatives aimed at promoting and hiring more women and people from protected minority groups. Target is also ending its goal of sourcing products from businesses owned by people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, veterans and people with disabilities. Target follows other major U.S. corporations, like Walmart and McDonald’s, that have recently shut down DEI initiatives that are under attack from President Trump and his allies.
