The protest began after Target scaled back its diversity, equity and inclusion commitments pledged in 2020 after George Floyd’s murder. Civil rights leaders, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, have urged Target to keep its promises. The boycott coincides with a planned leadership transition as longtime CEO Brian Cornell prepares to step down in 2026.
