Target has lost 15.7 Billion in market value since tanking their D.E.I. [View all]

Calorie Bridges Fant:

Target has lost 15.7 billion in market value and when they announced DEI rollbacks the stock dropped.

The blackout date is Feb 28th. 💙

If possible, boycott any business that participated in DEI rollbacks.
