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.

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.”

We are deeply disappointed in their announcement,” Andi Otto, executive director of Twin Cities Pride, said on social media on Friday. We are committed to continuing conversations with them about the impact it has on our community and those in our community who are their employees.
