Friday Signpost: Take Action on Target in Minnesota (And Everywhere)
Hey there, Lowdowners! A broad coalition of progressive organizations in Minnesota is staging a day of action on Wednesday, February 11th. They’re pressuring Target to stop letting ICE stage operations on their property, and to get Target to step up and speak out against the terrorization of Minnesotans (and, well, everyone).
Why Target? The corporation itself is based in Minnesota, and prides itself on supporting the communities across the state that have helped it thrive. This also aligns with the now long-running boycott of Target, led by Black and Brown communities, ever since they were one of the first national companies to cave on DEI policies.
What’s happening? ICE Out of Minnesota is calling for sit-ins, letter deliveries, and any other creative ideas you might have to peacefully—and in some cases, playfully!—disrupt business as usual at Target stores around the country. Here’s what they’ve shared:
