“We’re asking people to divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community,” Rev. Jamal Bryant, a prominent Atlanta-area megachurch pastor who started the boycott, said in an interview with CNN.

On January 24, days into Donald Trump’s presidency, Target announced it was eliminating hiring goals for minority employees, ending an executive committee focused on racial justice and making other changes to its diversity initiatives.

I don't know this church, but it's not that surprising that a black pastor cares about racial discrimination. Doesn't necessarily mean they preach other kinds of "woke shit", though, although a lot of smaller churches do.
