The company also said it planned to stop submitting reports for external diversity surveys.” #Target #boycott

If you're still shopping at #Target, don't

Oh, so they develop minimal human decency AFTER their pockets hurt, got it.

Never again anyone say boycotts don't work.

The CEO of U.S. retailer Target plans to meet with civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton this week. Target eliminated some of its diversity, equity and inclusion policies and programs after President Donald Trump's inauguration, and has experienced declining footfall subsequently. Rev. Sharpton's National Action Network has encouraged consumers to avoid retailers that scaled back DEI initiatives. While he hasn't called out Target specifically, he has said he will consider it if the company doesn't reaffirm its commitment to Black businesses, employees and consumers. Here's more from CNBC. See the Retail Wire story at the second link for info on Target's current downturn.

Folks, be suspicious of everything if you live in the #USA.

This is a #fascist empire now. They are doing everything they can to #target all non-white non-cis persons.

Remember, #ACAB. Watch your back. Communicate. If something feels weird, get other opinions. When in doubt, #resist.

Hold the line #BlackPeople #BlackFolks Yesterday my daughter wanted to go to #Target for school supplies, I convinced her to try #FiveBelow or #DollarTree win! win! #TargetBoycott #BlackTwitter

So I haven't been shopping at Target lately, but some of my toiletries are running low. Is Costco a viable alternative. I must be one of the only people alive that has only been there a few times. I have no idea if they sell what i need in quantities an urban condo can hold. are there other Walgreens/CVS type places to shop? Because our city is running out of those. #target #bayarea

It's been 16 weeks since I last shopped at #Target.

I'll say that in the last 6 weeks alone I would have gone 4-5 times (like, the need arose, or I was nearby and it would have been convenient), but it was trivial to shop at local retailers instead. I think this year I will spend less than 5% at Target of what I did in 2024.

Consumers vs C-suites

Traget is literally trolling stupid American consumers.

Why else would they be selling 15 Kate Spade branded TRASH BAGS for $10?

They are literally laughing at all of us.

And this isn’t unique to #target. When I was at the little market down the road I heard a woman in the frozen food section talking to one of the employees about how his boss is laughing at us because they left the regular price tag next to the sale price tag showing that we would save exactly one cent by taking advantage of the “sale“. (I love the employees who made the decision to leave the original price tag there though.)

I found out about this ridiculousness because YouTube showed me a video made by a woman who’s trying to tell us how to best score these items. NO THANK YOU SCAMMERS NO THANK YOU.

And target must be getting desperate for some foot traffic because if you want that $10 strawberry bag charm that has no purpose at all except to hang off of your bag and get caught on things, you have to go into the store to get it. You can’t order it online so if you really want to waste your money you’re gonna have to go into the target store because that is “exclusive”.

I don’t know anything about Kate Spade other than how she died, but it seems really disrespectful to her life and talents to sell a garbage bag in her name.

Target saw foot traffic fall for the 8th consecutive week, extending a losing streak that began just a few days after the company announced it would end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program in late January.

71 days and still boycotting Target. #dei #LGBT #boycottTarget #target They removed Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality — so I’ve diversified my spending, including other options, with equal effort elsewhere. Costco has been crowded but great and supporting my local grocery stores for the smaller items. DEI also covers workers with disabilities. Everyone deserves an equal chance at success and survival.
