Minnesota Pride group raises $50,000 after dropping Target as a sponsor
Non-profit that organizes annual Minneapolis festival cut ties with retailer after 18 years after it drops DEI policies
Summary
Twin Cities Pride raised over $50,000 after cutting ties with Target over the retailer’s rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Target ended anti-discrimination efforts and programs supporting minority-owned businesses, prompting backlash.
The Pride group, which had Target as a sponsor for 18 years, prioritized sending a message over financial concerns.
Target’s move follows a broader corporate shift away from DEI amid pressure from the Trump administration, which has aggressively opposed such policies in both the public and private sectors.
Fuck yeah. #MakeAmericaDecorporatized
Maybe we should open up a bunch of mom and pop shops again and collectively stop shopping at giant corporate stores. Probably a good idea anyway, and even better idea, let's try to source local instead of from out of country so the environmental footprint is lower. Just spitballin here.
I'm already looking for alternatives. I've closed walmart and amazon so far. Target requires you contact support. So that will take longer. I'm encouraging everyone I know, and posting here and on reddit encouraging everyone to vote with your wallet. Your money is all these goons care about.
You’d have to enforce the Robinson-Patman Act for that to work.

I've never heard of Minnesota Pride groups before. Are they Minnesotan supremacists?
As Minnesotans, yes they are, but that's not what the group is about.
Minnesota supremacy! Make Minnesota bigger!
