If you are in the Washington DC or Montgomery County, MD and you support the national Target boycott, then come out this Saturday, March 29th and join the boycott at the 14th St NW Target. Rally is from 11AM - 2PM
14th Street NW and Irving St. NW. You can take the Green line Metro to the Columbia Heights stop. Target is across the street from the Metro.

I went shopping at Aldi for the first time after a failed attempt a few years ago (no quarter or bags).

It was more bare and open than I expected, with fewer selections than most grocery stores, and even many places that sell groceries on the side, like Target, but the prices were good, some of them fantastic ($2.99 for a pint of strawberries), and I was shocked at the apparent high quality of their fresh salmon.

Plus, it's across from my #FreshMarket

So... Target, among others, has ended its commitment to DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) to "comply" with the Trump administration. What have they gotten in return? Tariffs that do nothing but hurt their business. Id call that karma.

Have I bought anything from Target before? Yes. My daughter loves visiting it. Will we continue shopping there? No.

Yahoo Finance · A 40-day Target boycott starts today. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the companyBy Nathaniel Meyersohn, CNN

February 28th is a "Don't Shop" day. I do plan to participate as it is gaining traction, but this isn't enough.

*We need to shop at GOOD places, and stop shopping at the bad!*

Black people have done this many times in history, "don't shop where they won't hire you!". It lasts upwards of a year, historically. The NAACP has called for similar measures again, and I urge everyone to take part. This is a commitment not for a day, but for a month, a year, however long it takes.

Together, everyone who benefited from DEIA *is a majority*. Let's plan now, so starting March 1st, after no spend day, we no longer shop at or use places that have canceled DEIA!

DON'T SHOP:
McDonalds
Walmart
Amazon
Target
Ford
Toyota
Nissan
John Deer
Harley Davidson
Lowes
Jack Daniels
Molson Coors (not to be confused with Coors, which is black owned!)
Boeing
Meta (facebook, instagram, threads)

PLACES DEFENDING DEI!
Subaru
Costco
Publix
Burger King
Popeyes
Tim Hortons
Delta
Ben & Jerry's
Apple

Feel free to add more in comments, and I will edit this list to update it.

(NAACP call to action: naacp.org/campaigns/black-cons but the list is small, my goal is easy to read full list!)

Target, a major U.S.A. retailer, just decided to end their DEI initiatives. However, in starting those initiatives a few years ago, the retailer did include more products from Black-owned businesses. These partnerships between a large national retailer and mostly small Black-owned businesses allowed the latter to grow, to hire, and to develop a more constant income stream. So, if you want to properly boycott Target, go there and only shop these products. Nothing else - get everything else you need elsewhere.
