In other news, Target is facing significant backlash following its announcement Friday that it will end its three-year diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals and its Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) initiatives. And social media is having a field day.

A widely circulating image on social media is calling for a boycott of Minneapolis-based Target, starting Feb. 1. “No Diversity? No Equity? No Inclusion? No Dollars!” the post says.
