What\u2019s more? Reports that the company has given money to sponsors of Florida bill HB 1557, which\u00a0Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is expected to sign into law, ramped up the backlash.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, after the Walt Disney Co. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/03\/07\/desperation-left-wingers-call-for-disney-boycott-over-florida-bill-barring-teaching-sexuality-to-young-kids\/\">facing the wrath<\/a> of left-wing activists, Chapek <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/03\/09\/disney-ceo-caves-to-leftists-pledges-5-million-to-lgbtq-groups-over-florida-bill-barring-sexuality-instruction-for-kids\/\">caved<\/a> to the woke mob and announced that the company is pledging $5 million toward LGBTQ groups in response to the Florida bill.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO also announced that the company would pause all donations to elected officials in Florida. But these moves did not appear to satisfy queer activists and their allies.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday,\u00a0Chapek attempted to\u00a0rectify the situation in a virtual town hall, telling\u00a0employees that he and other top executives were \u201cdetermined to use this moment as a catalyst for more meaningful and lasting change,\u201d according to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/disney-ceo-bob-chapek-works-to-mend-fences-with-employees-at-companywide-meeting-11647893225\">report<\/a>\u00a0by <em>the Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Chapek also reportedly said that he and other senior\u00a0leaders will go on a global listening tour of employees.<\/p>\n<p>While Disney scrambles to appease its employees, the company\u00a0continues to do business in China despite Beijing\u2019s continued genocide of minorities in Xinjiang and Tibet. Disney continues to work to release its movies in the Chinese marker and still operates theme parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, Disney\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/03\/12\/disney-suspends-business-in-russia-but-continues-cozy-relationship-with-communist-china\/\">announced<\/a> it is suspending all business in Russia in response to Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, however, the company continues its close relationship with China despite the communist regime\u2019s well-established record of invasion and human rights atrocities.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can follow Alana\u00a0Mastrangelo on\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter at\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walt Disney Co. employees at corporate locations across the U.S. are protesting Disney to force the company to fight Don\u2019t-Groom-Kids laws, such as the Florida bill that\u00a0restricts the teaching of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1394086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1394086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1394086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1394086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1394086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
