Target is scaling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, raising questions about its philanthropic commitment in Minneapolis and beyond. The retailer announced last week that it would conclude previous DEI goals, stop reporting to external diversity surveys, and reassess corporate partnerships. While Target stated these changes do not impact its foundation’s giving, nonprofits have cut ties, citing concerns over the company’s shifting priorities. Progressive activists are calling for a boycott, with some Black-owned brands pulling their products from Target shelves.
