In Southern California, Disney employees staged in-person and virtual walkouts Tuesday to protest the company’s response to Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, which bans discussions of sexuality and gender identity in schools. Disney CEO Bob Chapek initially refused to condemn the bill and donated to politicians who back the anti-LGBTQ measure. This is a Disney worker.
Zach: “I feel like everything that’s happening right now with Disney could have really huge ripple effects not only for the company but also the entertainment industry as a whole. … So I just came here to show solidarity and hopefully get more representation, not only in front of the camera but behind the camera and in the upper echelons of leadership, as well.”
