The nonprofit advocacy group America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit against mega-retailer Target for harming shareholders with its adoption of woke progressive corporate policies that have led to a decline in market valuation.

AFL argues that the company’s push for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mandates have harmed shareholders.
