More than 70 people came out to Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis to protest Target’s move in the wake of the Trump administration’s efforts to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Target announced last week that it would end its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and investments. Protesters called for a national boycott of Target during a rally Thursday in front of the offices of the Minneapolis-based retailer.

Civil rights activists have gathered outside Target's Minneapolis headquarters to call for a boycott of the retailing giant over its decision to phase out its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
