What’s documented

• 2026-05-26otherRev. Jamal Bryant of New Birth Cathedral launched a 'Summer of Discontent' electronic protest campaign against Dollar General running from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2026, targeting the company's rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Rather than a physical boycott (since Dollar General's 20,000+ stores are often the only option in food desert communities), the campaign urges supporters to flood the company with emails, phone calls, and social media posts demanding accountability. Bryant's demands include addressing systemic racism within Dollar General's corporate culture, expanding contracts to Black-owned vendors, and creating a community reinvestment fund. Over 200 Dollar General workers and customers joined protest actions.source →
