Some major retailers have been quietly maintaining diversity, equity and inclusion policies behind the scenes, according to a report.
Schwarz has organized a Nestle blackout – which owns the likes of Nescafé and KitKat – from March 21 until March 28 and a Walmart blackout from April 7 to April 13. It comes as Target faces a possible 40-day nationwide boycott after the retail giant ditched its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives last month. The two boycotts are not linked.
The February economic blackout saw Target and Walmart traffic drop, Amazon sales rise slightly and Costco web traffic increase.
The Feb. 28 economic blackout was not the last: activists are preparing for further boycotts to push back on Trump’s attacks on DEI.
Economic boycotts are happening and several more are planned, including a March boycott against Amazon. Here's what to know about upcoming actions.
