#FlushTarget Campaign Launches: Truck with a Message to Visit Every Target Store in Minnesota

Lisa Bourne : May 17, 2016  LifeSiteNews.com

"We are not boycotting Target out of fear of the LGBT community. Target can accommodate men that dress as women in a way that doesn't put women and our young children at risk. Instead of seeking solutions that are safe for both transgender people and women and children, Target has embraced an approach that emboldens predators, threatens women's safety, and undermines any basic sense of decency."

A  #FlushTarget truck, bearing an image of a little girl being surprised by a man in the women's bathroom, and the text "What about her rights to privacy and protection?" will be visiting every single Target store in Target's home state over the next few weeks.

There are also plans to bring the truck to other states, if the necessary funds can be raised.
 
The #FlushTarget campaign is being organized by LifeSiteNews. It kicked off this morning with a press conference in the Minnesota state capitol.

"In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways," the retailer said in announcing the policy change.
 
However, despite a boycott with more than one million signatures and plummeting stock prices in its wake, and family leaders voicing privacy and safety concerns, Target has continued to double-down on its commitment to so-called "inclusion."
 
"We are not boycotting Target out of fear of the LGBT community," Chretien stated. "Target can accommodate men that dress as women in a way that doesn't put women and our young children at risk. Instead of seeking solutions that are safe for both transgender people and women and children, Target has embraced an approach that emboldens predators, threatens women's safety, and undermines any basic sense of decency." 
 
LifeSite was joined by the Child Protection League at the press conference. "Target's policy puts women and children at risk," the group's Board Chairman, Julie Quist, said.
 
"Sexual assault is a crime of opportunity," she added. "Target has created the opportunity with...
