Please be aware Disneyland Resort cast members and those in the Anaheim area, there is going to be another far-right protest near Disneyland. We are advising to not counter protest or be in the area for safety.

Wonderully covered perspective, and really glad they were able to get parks CMs perspective.
Disney’s "Don’t Say Gay" misstep threatens to overshadow Chapek’s reign as CEO theverge.com/2022/4/11/23016…

It's one thing if they had a permit to express their right to protest, but did they?
If not, @BurbankPD helped normalize bigots doing whatever they want, law be damned, serving only to accelerate the potential for violence.
Where is the line drawn? When they start hurting us?

There is a coordinated attack on our community right now. Bills like this and "Dont Say Gay" are signals to bigoted politicians that they can get away with doing the same.
This is why we fight from our corner to end the cashflow from Disney into the hands of these politicians.

How is literally facilitating this clear act of hate and intimidation towards Disney employees the appropriate response? @BurbankPD @KonstantineinCA
Employees literally have been warned about this and instructed how to avoid it for their safety, but sure, let them stay.

Blocking the Alameda gate and harassing employees.
Why have these people not been dispersed @BurbankPD @KonstantineinCA?

Peaceful so far, good, but:
1) They prob don't have a permit(2 days isn't enough time)
2) Illegally blocking sidewalk
3) Parked in a no park zone
And appears @BurbankPD is allowing this/working with them
What gives @KonstantineinCA?

‘Hold The Line’ organizers describe the rally as basically church in front of the Walt Disney studios in Burbank. @FOXLA

(1/2) Reports of an "Anti-groomer protest" near the Alameda entrance of Disney in Burbank today at 6PM, but there have been sightings already today.
Neo-Nazis and QAnon people seem to also be involving themselves in it.
Please stay clear of this area if you can, and stay safe!

(2/2) When the entirety of the white supremacist, right wing media paints nearly 200,000 employees of Disney as "groomers" this is priming people to commit acts of violence against them.
If anything happens this will be on them and we must work to hold them accountable.

Pixar making their voices heard.
The whole company held a solidarity event for the LGBTQIA employees at Pixar and all across Disney. Speeches from employees and leadership were given.
This is what real support and affirmation looks like. Now, will Disney commit to real action?
This symbol. At this moment. On this campus. And in all our hearts and minds for every day going forward.

.@AnnaForFlorida noticed more companies we didn't filter for in Disney's overall political donations!
She's pointing out a house republican, but you can find even more stats on the FL state senate "Don't Say Gay" bill supporters here:

Let’s play a game! Guess which House Republican this is that is now dunking on @WaltDisneyWorld for caring about #LGBTQ people after accepting more than $15,000 in what @GovRonDeSantis says is woke/communist money? 🤓

(1/4) Always keep it in mind while this is going on, the goal of the white supremacist, right-wing media ring is to do two things:
Drum up fear to get a traditionally non-voting population to the polls
and
Dehumanize queer people to the point where violence is acceptable

(3/4) The amoral nature of corporate political donations needs to end as long as Citizens United exists.
They have put too many in harms way for far too long by propping up otherwise unpopular politicians who only have a platform of hate and corruption.

(4/4) However, the silver lining is that fear mongering is not organizing.
A small group whipping people into a frenzy is a mob not a movement.
We can protect ourselves, and our futures by organizing our collective power.
While they remain a pit of snakes, we become a hydra.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed today that Disney has only ever gotten 1 thing from his administration.
"The one time they got something when I’ve been governor was that Big Tech carveout," DeSantis said.
That's not true.
Here are 3 more things DeSantis has given Disney:

Well, Desantis said to read the bill and you would see the word “gay” isn’t in there. Looks like FL teachers have read it, and have an interesting take.

A spoke to a dozen LGBTQ students in Florida about the impact that the “Don’t Say Gay” law will have on their lives. Many are already enduring daily harassment, rape threats, and death threats. They believe the new law will make it impossible to get help.
