Is the Target Boycott Outrage Hypocritical?

There are undercurrents that interrogate the authenticity and effectiveness of the Target Boycott. Walmart is just as worthy a candidate for a national boycott, perhaps even more so. However, while a national boycott of Walmart and other mega retail-stores is needed, it could expose more gaps than we are prepared to fill. The outrage is selective on purpose—Target is the perfect mark.

Anaïs Monique

Founding Editorial Director + Writer.

Los Angeles, California.

Anaïs is a nomadic creative. A decade of blogging about travel, romance, and justice taught her that life must be explored to be a good writer, and the truth must be told to be a great one.

At some point, her storytelling evolved from whimsical to bearing witness. Now she writes from the perspective that liberation must start from within, by re-wilding the parts of ourselves that were domesticated for the sake of capitalism and white supremacy.

In 2026, Anaïs expanded her political footprint as the former Press Secretary for the Green Party’s California Gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Butch Ware. She is now the Editorial Director and a writer at The Left Current.
