US EditionMcDonald’s responds to calls for boycott: ‘Misleading claims’
- McDonald's faces a weeklong boycott from June 24 to June 30 led by The People's Union USA over its rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and other corporate practices.

- The boycott and legal challenges highlight growing public and internal pressures as McDonald's contends with shrinking customer traffic and criticism for reversing previous commitments on equity initiatives.
