Target Schedules Discussion with Rev. Al Sharpton on DEI Policy Revisions

Target's CEO Brian Cornell plans to engage in discussions with Rev. Al Sharpton amidst ongoing boycotts and dwindling customer visits linked to the company's rollback of its DEI initiatives. CNBC reports that Sharpton, while not specifically calling for a boycott, champions the efforts of various groups advocating against shopping at Target. He emphasized the importance of consistent commitment to equality, signaling potential consequences if the brand fails to reassure its dedication to the Black community. The meeting is scheduled for New York this week.
