Civic Activity

Building on a strong foundation of civic engagement

Since its founding, Target has proudly stood in support of democracy and encouraged our team members and guests to get engaged in the civic process and exercise their right to vote.

The following principles guide our decisions on when to engage in public policies related to our elections and voting.

We believe:

• Every American should have a voice in our democracy.
• Voting should be safe and accessible to all who are eligible.
• Elections must be fair and transparent.
• Equal access to voting is required to have a more inclusive society.

We encourage civic participation, including participation in federal, state and local elections, by providing nonpartisan tools, resources and education to all U.S. team members. In 2023, Target continued to provide paid time off to vote in local, state and federal elections, and paid time off for team members to serve as election judges and poll workers.

Citizens@Target

At Target, we promote civic engagement among team members in a nonpartisan and inclusive way through Citizens@Target, a nonpartisan network that encourages team members to actively participate in democracy in a way that matters to them and provides them with the tools and resources to do so.
