Walmart Faces Backlash Over DEI Rollback and Boycott Calls
Birmingham activists are calling for a Black Friday boycott of Walmart after the company announced it is rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The Roebuck group, consisting of activists and community leaders, urges Alabamians to withhold spending at Walmart to pressure the company to prioritize minority communities. Walmart's decision to reverse DEI efforts aligns with a trend among companies following a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action. The boycott aims to support minority and local businesses instead.
