Target and Amazon will be put under pressure to drop their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies after Walmart said it would institute a crackdown on woke measures.
Robby Starbuck, the conservative activist who pushed the retail giant into its U-turn, said in a video that “we have our eyes on Amazon and Target” because they are “acting crazy out there with wokeness”.
Walmart, the biggest private employer in the US, will phase out terms like “diversity, equity and inclusion” in company materials and end sales of items such as chest binders for children who express a trans identity, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
Mr Starbuck said he had had“productive conversations” with Walmart executives about the decisions after he warned the retailer that he was “doing a story on wokeness there”.
