After a public uproar over Disney's handling of the gay bill in Florida, the company's CEO sent out an internal email.
It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but another challenge to basic human rights, according to an internal companywide email shared with Variety. I am sorry.
Disney has stopped all political donations in Florida regardless of party and are working to fight legislation that threatens human rights.
Brave employees and creative giants who have worked at the Walt Disney Company have decried the silence and little-too-late actions mentioned in the shareholders call earlier in the week. According to the interim president of the HRC, a $5 million donation was rejected until meaningful action was taken.
