Ongoing! - Starting March 5th on Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the season of Lent, we are joining the call from Black Church leaders to go to Target to protest their phasing out of DEI initiatives. As well, they have stopped selling LGBTQ+ merchandise for Pride month. Pastor Jamal Bryant, of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in metro Atlanta and a key leader of the Fast from Target initiative, emphasizes the significance of this participating in economic boycotts historically and today. "The Montgomery Boycott was about economic withdrawal" about understanding "the power of our dollars," he said. According to Bryant, Target -- whose corporate headquarters is in Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered -- is where Black people spend $12 million daily. In 2021, Target pledged to invest $2 billion into Black businesses by the end of 2025. However, they have reversed course and are phasing out their DEI initiatives.
Other Corporations who have ended DEI initiatives and should be boycotted: Amazon, Tesla (along with anything from Musk!), Walmart, Google, Meta, Pepsi, Aldi, McDonald's, and Lowes. If you, for one reason or another cannot avoid dealing with one of these, find ways to REDUCE your dependence on them.
An inspirational John Lewis Quote for ALL our Rallies - "You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or diminish your light … Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won." - John Lewis in Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America

Saturday, September 20th -- 1:00 -3:00 p.m. -- Women's March: Make Billionaires Pay! -- PLEASE NOTE! This march is not just for women! It focuses on issues most central to women -- like pay equity, preserving immigrant families rather than separating children, women's healthcare and reproduction choice. However, all persons fighting for justice and democracy, regardless of gender status or sexual orientation are called to rally with us! IN ADDITION! This is now a combination of two rallies in one. Another rally, previously scheduled for Sunday, September 21, is now combining with us. "Sun Day for a Sun-Powered Planet" (See picture to the right!) Gather with us at Memorial Park! The Trump administration just rammed through a mega-bill defunding our communities to give handouts to billionaires. They’re dismantling our democracy, attacking immigrants, and feeding the war profiteers. All across the world, authoritarian regimes are on the rise, but people are fighting back. We are uniting across the world to demand a better future for our communities and for all living beings. Shut down billionaires!
