Lee’s Summit Councilman Chris Moreno Calls On Target to Create Safety Measures for New Bathroom Policy



Moreno issues common sense safety steps that protect inclusion

Lee’s Summit, MO. – Today, Lee’s Summit City Councilman Chris Moreno publicly called on Target, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota to put in place new corporate staffing protocols and other measures to protect the safety and privacy of all customers in bathrooms and changing facilities.

This comes after Councilman Chris Moreno spoke to Target’s national government affairs team in Minneapolis, on behalf of constituents, where he asked very specific staffing and security questions in relation to their new policy.

“After speaking to Target’s national headquarters in Minneapolis, I am troubled by their new policy. I want to be clear, that this is not about Transgender shoppers or staff. Every store has a unisex bathroom, and every person deserves to be treated with respect. My concern is that this policy allows any male-- dressed as a man or woman--to enter a female bathroom or changing facility without staff or other security protocols in place to protect those inside. This reactive policy sharply increases the chance of a potential attacker, yet tells potential victims if you escape, notify us, and Target will try to do something. That is just not right,” said Councilman Moreno.

Councilman Moreno proposes that Target take the following actions on behalf of women and families in Lee’s Summit and other communities:

- Immediately place a trained team member outside of the restrooms and changing areas in every store, at all times to ensure the safety and privacy of anyone inside.

- Amend their bathroom and changing room policy to deny those with a visible appearance of the opposite sex from entering a different restroom or changing room.

- Construct a welcoming and visible unisex restroom and changing rooms next to gender specific rooms that Transgender staff and customers to easily locate.

- Issue to state and local governments, as well as, law enforcement agencies their guidelines and plan to identify predatory or malicious intent vs. genuine gender identity of a shopper.

“While I respect Target’s goodhearted efforts toward inclusion, it is critical that Target protect the safety of all other customers in our community. Their new policy does not do that,” said Moreno.
