AFA launches new boycott Target campaign amid retailer's refusal to change inclusive bathroom policy
Christian Times ^ | 17 June, 2016 | Chiqui Guyjoco

Conservative group American Family Association (AFA) announced Tuesday, June 14 that it's launching another campaign to boycott Target after the retailer proved adamant in its inclusive bathroom policy.

Walker Wildmon, assistant to the president of AFA, announced on the organization's official website a new initiative for #BoycottTarget pledge seeking 50,000 more signatories from June 13 to 17. The organization believes that despite garnering more than a million pledges for the first campaign, there are still millions more who were not able to sign.

AFA spearheaded the campaign shortly after the giant retail company announced its inclusive bathroom policy in April. This means transgender employees and customers can now use bathrooms and changing facilities based on their gender preferences rather than their biological sex.

Although the boycott was supported by 1.3 million people, Target still refused to budge.

So...all the perverts can head to Target, find women they’re attracted to, and then follow them into the restroom? Wow, thanks, Barry Soetero. Women will be SO grateful.

Target is a hometown company and I’ve been honoring the boycott. Not a dime.

never cared for target.
Been in one maybe three times.
Will NEVER go in another one though.
Their stupidity has cost the company billions.
Oh well, they shot themselves in their own foot and deserve what is happening

Never was much of a customer anyway.

There are two charities I support. They are in it to actually help, not make money for the officers, ie. Red Cross.

Salvation Army
USO

Perhaps we take it to the NEXT LEVEL. For the SuperTargets with perishables (frozen and refrigerated stuff that spoils if left out)...what if we have an ‘emergency’ which requires us to leave before paying for the items? I mean things do ‘come up’ and if the emergency winds up being a false alarm, well I guess they’re out of luck with the food (since they’re not allowed to re-stock it). I’m not saying to harm them intentionally, just maybe ‘time’ your visit there when you know something ‘may come up’, and hope for the best.

How long can it be before women get disgusted with pee all over the seats?

I have a friend that was a store manager at Target before he was fired for not being politically correct.

He fired an employee for showing up to work with green hair, red contact lenses, and holes in his ears after being warned and sent home once before.

My freind said the thing Target fears most is unionization. Maybe this is one time we should all get behind a union takeover. ;)

Take some tips from BLM and protest in front of the stores. No breaking windows, looting and burning though! Peaceful, and quiet.
