Target Faces Boycott Fallout as Sales and Traffic Decline

Dr. Jamal Bryant, pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, called for a 40-day boycott of Target, claiming the company has "spit in the face" of Black people by ending its DEI initiatives.
Bryant stated, "If they start losing $29 million a day for 40 days, we will break the back of the system," regarding the boycott's potential impact.
Despite his controversies, Bryant has received support from liberal organizations and was thanked by Vice President Kamala Harris for his leadership.
