Boycotting Target: What It Means for the Black Dollar and Community Power

Perspectives from Target employees and local suppliers highlight an urgent concern: while boycotts aim to hold corporations accountable, they may inadvertently adversely affect small Black businesses and lower-income shoppers.

Target's stance on diversity has sparked vital discussions within Black communities, encouraging strategies that ensure boycotts support rather than harm local enterprises. As Tabitha Brown emphasized, the impact reaches beyond raising awareness, demanding a comprehensive and considerate approach.
