Skip Target For Back-To-School Shopping, Teachers Tell Parents
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), in collaboration with the AFL-CIO, has launched a nationwide campaign calling on teachers, parents, and communities to boycott Target for back-to-school shopping.
The union cited Target’s refusal to condemn ICE for its illegal assaults on communities across the country over the past year, particularly in Minneapolis, where January’s “Operation Metro Surge” led to the murders of two people, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents.
“We gave Target ample time to stand with the communities in which they operate and help their neighbors,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten.
