I want to thank you for standing firm against Target's dangerous bathroom
policy. Your commitment to the boycott has been noticed by major companies.
One thing is certain, they don't want what is happening to Target to happen
to them.
Somebody needs to tell this to Snopes.com, the fact-checking site so many
people depend on for honesty. The site's appraisal of the Target boycott is
well off the mark. Snopes.com is simply repeating Target's false claims that
the boycott is having no effect on the company.
The Snopes.com story includes a quote from Target's public relations manager
Erika Winkels saying the boycott has had no effect on them: "We have made
it clear over time that we've seen no material impact to the business based
on the bathroom policy. We don't have anything new or different to share."
I think we can translate this as – Target not only does not care about the
safety of their customers, but they do not miss the 1.4 million families who
are boycotting them and it seems they simply do not care enough to invite
the boycotters back to Target.
FACT: Despite Target's denial, the boycott is dealing a crippling financial
blow to the company. Since it was launched in April 2016, Target has seen a
significant drop in foot traffic to their stores. Effects of the boycott are
also clear in Target's financial report released February 28. The report
reflected a dramatic drop in Target's sales and earnings during October,
November, and December.
FACT: Snopes.com ignores the assessment of others outside the corporation.
Here are some recent news headlines…

First day of boycott (4-21-16) - $83.98
This week (3-14-17) - $54.73 Stock has lost 35%
Together we are making an unprecedented financial impact on a corporation
whose policy is to allow men to use women's restrooms and dressing rooms.
Target's decision is unacceptable for families, and their dangerous and
misguided policy continues to put women and children in harm’s way.
It is urgent the Target boycott reach 1.5 million signers by the end of
April. At that point, I will personally return to Minneapolis with an
additional 500,000 names. I will then discuss how Target can invite 1.5
million AFA supporters back to their store by having a common sense bathroom
and dressing room policy that links use of these rooms to a person's
biological sex.
Help us reach the 1.5 million signature mark.
If you haven't signed the boycott pledge, please sign it today!
If you have signed the pledge, please forward this email to your family and

Most important: Share this information with your Sunday School class and
encourage them to sign the pledge at www.afa.net/target.
