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.

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.

Target will not see a dime of our Black dollars during Black History Month or at any other time, unless and until they reverse this decision,” said a cofounder of Black Lives Matter
