“It’s time for the American consumer … to start putting their money where their values are,” Heidi St. John, founder of MomStrong International told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins in an interview on “Washington Watch,” referring to the outrage sparked by Target’s LGBT+ merchandising campaign.

To bolster the conservative boycott effort, Family Research Council also set its sights on Target, collecting signatures for a petition entitled: “Tell Target to Stop Targeting Our Children.”

A delegation from FRC attempted to deliver the petition to Target’s lobbying office in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, but after a brief introduction, their efforts were rebuffed. Fortunately, a second attempt was met with success. A representative from Target relented, accepting the petition on Wednesday.

FRC’s manager of Annual Giving, Claire Gatzke, who successfully delivered the stack of names, said “I’m glad that Target changed course and agreed to accept our petition. While Target may not hold to our biblical values, the 23,000 believers who signed the petition deserve to have their voices heard.”
