<p>Target has seen plummeting share prices and decreased footfall after consumers started to boycott the chain because of its backdown on diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Now, the church leader who has spearheaded the boycott has a new target: Dollar General. Jamal-Harrison Bryant, senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, says the low-cost chain has both rolled back its DEI initiatives and failed to invest in the Black and low-income communities that are the backbone of its customer base. This time, he&#x27;s not calling for all customers to stay away from Dollar General, since because of the lack of infrastructure in rural communities it&#x27;s sometimes the only place people can shop for certain items. Instead, he&#x27;s proposing an electronic protest: Clog up phone lines and inboxes, and post on social media to pressure the company into reinstating its programs — and boycott the store if you can.
