Target has 13 members on their Board of Directors (interesting number?).
In the "Skills and Qualifications" section of their bios, 11 of the 13 list "ESG skills."
ESG is "Evironmental, Social and Governance," which is a euphemism for communist ideology of SJW wokeness.

The CEO of Target is also a Woketard, who "spearheaded vast investments in ... diverse and equitable representation ..."

Meanwhile ...
Anheuser-Bush has a:
-
VP - External Affairs, who "is responsible for overseeing the company’s external affairs agenda, including all legal, communications, government affairs, and ESG/CSR activities."
-
Chief People Officer, who "was at the forefront of the company’s Inclusion and Diversity agenda."

The real problem is this woke ESG movement, pushed behind the scenes by the puppet masters.
It is these ESG people and their degenerate ideas that has infiltrated and infected these corporations.
I think we need to start researching large companies and considering a boycott on any ESG companies, which is A LOT of them.
Back to local Mom and Pop stores, farms and credit unions!
I think we need to move up the food chain. Targeting individual companies will not be successful. It could, possibly knock out a few and make us feel good. But it won't change the fundamental environment. To make significant and lasting change we need to "cut the head off the snake."
What does that mean? Cut off the money sponsors. These ESG/DEI companies will continue to draw funds from Blackrock and Rockefeller and Soros. States divesting from Blackrock is an example. It is a pebble in the pond, but slowly the pebbles will fill the pond to the point that the fish can no longer live.
So the direct action is to identify the holdings of the REAL proponents and pushers of this agenda and take those down. Tough to do because a lot is in hidden assets, but we can at least make life more difficult for them and dry up some of the flow of funds. That means not just boycotting the enemy, but looking at your own investments and divesting from those who support your destruction. That will include both the direct investments you manage at home over your kitchen table, but also indirect as in your retirement accounts.
"Think globally, act locally"...or in this case think strategically and act tactically
I was thinking about getting 1,000,000+ people all agreeing to buy 1 share of each of these companies, and then utilizing that power against the individuals on the boards of directors, the officers, and the Blackrock, etc. funders.
If a large number of people each bought up 1 share, and then those shares were put into a voting trust, then one small team of lawyers/investment managers could have the voting power at the board of directors' meetings.
Of course, these team members would be anti-ESG. It would be a huge effort, but it would be doing exactly what Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard, etc. do.
They are just pools of other peoples' money that they are now using to push their communist agenda.
It would be a big project, but it could also be very effective.
I love it....add me to your list and let me know if you start something like this
I'm in.
