Here are the email addresses to make your voice heard at Disney/ABC:
👉General Issues: DisneyABCtv_Support@disney.com
👉Publicity / Corporate Comms: Ashley.r.kline@disney.com
👉Audience Information: cheryl.pratesa@abc.com
👉Investor Relations: alexia.quadrani@disney.com
👉Disney Advertising: Disney.Advertising@disney.com
If anyone needs sample language, here’s a starting point you can copy and paste:
Dear Disney/ABC Leadership,
Your decision to silence a comedian for a harmless joke while protecting and platforming voices that openly promote cruelty is indefensible. It reeks of hypocrisy, cowardice, and corporate complicity.
Suppressing humor while elevating propaganda is how fascism gains ground. You are helping it along.
This is a warning: every dollar I once spent on Disney subscriptions, merchandise, films, and parks will now be withheld. I will also be encouraging others to cancel, divest, and pressure your advertisers and shareholders until Disney/ABC adopts clear, viewpoint-neutral standards that respect all voices equally.
History will not remember kindly the corporations that bent to fear and power, silencing dissent while protecting division. Right now, Disney/ABC is on the wrong side of that history. Shame on you. We will remember!
Sincerely,
- From Rob Brezsny on a different Social Media platform
