The Home Depot is the next brand facing a month-long boycott. In the latest effort to protest large companies’ removal of DEI initiatives, The People’s Union USA (who organized the boycotts against Target, Walmart, and most recently McDonald’s) took to social media to call for a month-long boycott against The Home Depot. In a video posted by founder John Schwartz, he calls the brand out for their erasure of DEI initiatives that were formerly featured on the company’s website, saying: “[The Home Depot has] quietly erased their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion page, as if standing for fairness or for equality or for representation, was something to be ashamed of.” Many Gen Z and Millennial spoke online about participating in past boycotts led by the group, so The Home Depot could take a hit from its younger customers.
