Dear Mr. Cornell,
I am writing to express my dismay with Target’s elimination of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. As a long-time customer and advocate for inclusive business practices, this change in your policy requires my change in choosing where to shop. It will not be at Target.
I am but one small customer but half our country did not vote for, nor supports, the current White House administration. The only thing we can do is choose to shop elsewhere. Maybe enough of us will impact your bottom line, and bring about shareholder discontent. That might be the only way you listen to all people.
Respectfully,

Misleading, the stock crashed on bad earnings projections, and was before (and unrelated to) DEI program cuts
