WHEN/WHERE: Wednesday, February 11, 2026
WHY: Los Angeles, CA – As ICE agents continue to descend on schools and churches, abduct children, raid residences without warrants, and separate families without due process across the country, the call for Target to show corporate leadership is expanding.
Faith, Community, and Labor leaders are escalating their call on the company to take corporate leadership in recognizing the humanity of its employees and its customers and demanding an end to state-sanctioned violence that terrorizes neighborhoods across the country.
Through nonviolent direct actions, they will provide public witness and testimony through prayer and song. And they will deliver a letter to Target management demanding just action from this corporation that has long profited from communities of color, yet continues to have no response to the blatant injustice at their doorsteps.
Demands include the following:
ABOUT CLUE: Founded in 1996, Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE Justice) brings together clergy and lay leaders of all faiths with the marginalized, the unheard, and the least protected — low-wage workers and immigrants — in strategic campaigns for dignity, justice, and a more sacred and just society.
