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.

We just got a local reuse store. You bring your own bottles and fill them, all household necessities sold by weight. Hand soap, floor cleaner, vinegar, dish soap, etc. they have what you need to clean an entire house and an entire person. They also sell environmentally friendly/reusable brushes and stuff. Dish brushes, toilet brushes, toothbrushes, all with reusable parts and all biodegradable.
