Twin Cities Pride executive director Andi Otto says the nonprofit made the decision because Target is not standing up “against those who are fighting against us.”

Twin Cities Pride raised more than $60,000 to fill a gap in fundraising after booting Target from the list of festival sponsors. The Minneapolis retailer sparked public outcry with an announcement that it would retreat from its diversity goals amid pressure from conservative activists.

Several Twin Cities leaders and organizations are reacting to Target's announcement to end its DEI efforts, with one group even parting ways with the retailer.
