CA Governor Candidate Sharifah Hardie Calls for New Business Creation Not Boycotts of Target & Walmart Over DEI Policies

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, January 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — California gubernatorial candidate Sharifah Hardie is calling for an end to the ongoing boycott campaigns against companies like Target, Walmart, and Amazon. These boycotts have been launched in response to the companies’ removal of their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs.

Hardie stresses that the continued focus on boycotting these businesses will ultimately do more harm than good to California’s economy, further drive corporations out of the state, and reduce consumer choices.

Hardie advocates for redirecting efforts toward creating new, successful businesses that will foster job growth, enhance local economies, and provide a diverse range of products and services for consumers.

“Instead of focusing on tearing down businesses, we should focus on creating new businesses. We have the power, ability, strength and fortitude to create successful businesses that will provide jobs and real opportunities for everyone,” said Sharifah Hardie. “While the playing field is far from level, temporary boycotts are not the solution. The real solution lies in creating successful corporations that ensure everyone has a seat at the table.”
