Summary

Racial justice group leaders called for a national boycott of Target during a rally Thursday in front of the offices of the Minneapolis-based retailer.

Target announced last week that it would end its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and investments. The initiatives include a program it established aimed at helping Black employees build meaningful careers, improving the experience of Black shoppers and promoting Black-owned businesses, following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.

I very much want an app where I can track companies and all their parents/child companies that I'm meant to avoid. Walmart was off years ago, Kellogg after the whole hiring outside the unions fiasco, Target and all the other 'DEI is bad because hail Trump' shops...

Anyone know an aggregate data source where one could keep track of these things?

If you don’t personally know the person who made it, odds are the corporation who made it has done bad stuff.
