Al Sharpton Announces Boycott of Companies Ending DEI Policies
Sharpton's National Action Network plans to target two companies within 90 days in response to corporate rollbacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives following Trump's executive order.
- Al Sharpton called for a boycott of companies scaling back or eliminating DEI programs, describing it as a response to systemic inequities and recent policy changes under the Trump administration.
- The boycott announcement was made during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech at the Metropolitan AME Church and reiterated on MSNBC's PoliticsNation.
- Sharpton's National Action Network will conduct a 90-day review to identify two companies for targeted boycotts, focusing on their DEI practices and profit margins.
- Major corporations like Walmart, McDonald's, and Meta have reportedly reduced DEI initiatives, reflecting broader corporate shifts post-Trump's election.
- Critics have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest involving Sharpton's nonprofit and his MSNBC platform, citing past allegations of leveraging boycotts for financial gain.
