Summary
G. Tyler Burns and Dr. Jemar Tisby unpack the fast-growing #TargetFast/#BoycottTarget campaign sparked by the retailer’s rollback of its $2 billion pledge to Black entrepreneurs and other DEI commitments. They trace how Pastor Jamal Harrison Bryant’s 40-day “Target Fast” evolved into a nationwide boycott and explore why economic withdrawals work only when they’re paired with proactive redirecting of cash toward Black-owned businesses.
