Company wide walk out?

Would anyone be interested in a company walk out to pressure leadership to answer about their inaction with ICE and make a formal denouncement?

What does a grocery and apparel retailer have to do with immigration enforcement? Why do they need to denounce it? Has anyone asked Walmart if they denounced it yet? Should they also denounce the IRS for making me pay back-taxes?

I feel bad for Target for being HQ'd in Minneapolis sometimes. Who would have thought a city in Minnesota of all places would be the epicenter of the most unstable political landscape for the past 10 years.
Truly damned if they do and damned if they dont. And what I really hate is that at the end of the day all it does is hurt the team members who rely on their jobs to make ends meet.

Bc it's in their backyard. They're involved whether they like it or not. Silence is a statement.
Specifically the Target store where those kids were snatched up by ICE while working and dropped off elsewhere is close enough to corporate that they probably get corporate people shopping in the store DAILY.

No major retailer is going to make a strong statement condemning ICE actions with the current state of the economy and a President that acts like a petulant child given an opportunity to do so, and opening themselves up to major backlash and boycotting, especially while Target is starting to recover somewhat.

The most you're going to see is exactly what all the major retailers did, put out a "Hey, c'mon guys, work together and figure it out." statement.
 
No matter what statement Target makes, it's a lose lose for Target. You side with anti-ice group you'll have the right wing up your ass and boycotting saying we support illegals. You side with the right wing, you'll have the left wing up your ass even more. I think they've learned from the past, it's better to just shut up and don't say anything or stay neutral as possible.
 
I'm of the "Fuck ICE" camp all the way but I don't see what Target has to do with this. Some have said Target allows them to stage in their parking lots but I'm not sure if this is verified. If that is, then it's a different story. But as of right now, I fail to see what a retail company has to do with Trump's secret police
