WHY: Los Angeles, CA – As ICE agents continue to descend on schools and churches, abduct children, raid residences without warrants, and separate families without due process across the country, the call for Target to show corporate leadership is expanding.
Faith, Community, and Labor leaders are escalating their call on the company to take corporate leadership in recognizing the humanity of its employees and its customers and demanding an end to state-sanctioned violence that terrorizes neighborhoods across the country.
Through nonviolent direct actions, they will provide public witness and testimony through prayer and song. And they will deliver a letter to Target management demanding just action from this corporation that has long profited from communities of color, yet continues to have no response to the blatant injustice at their doorsteps.
Demands include the following:
- Fully restore and recommit to DEI principles, beginning with a fulfillment of Target’s $2 billion pledge to the Black small business community;
- Publicly call for an immediate end to the ICE “surge” into Minnesota and for a cessation of all ICE operations across the country;
- Affirm Target stores as 4th amendment workplaces, publicly posting signage denying entrance to immigration agents without signed judicial warrants and training staff on how to respond if immigration agents enter illegally.
- Publicly call for Congress to stop funding ICE.
- Demand any federal officer who kills a civilian be held legally accountable.
