Over 100 conservative protestors gathered in front of the Walt Disney Company’s headquarters in Burbank, California this afternoon. The demonstrators were protesting what they believe to be Disney’s increasingly “woke” left-wing political stance.

Protestors can be heard chanting “Boycott Disney.”
Conservative Cast Members have voiced their concerns about Disney’s increasingly political stance, particularly over the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay‘ bill, and claiming that they cannot freely express their own political views at work without fear of termination.

One vocal Disneyland Cast Member who attended the rally said that Disney has “gotten very political. And it’s gotten very hard to be who you are. It’s gotten very hard to be someone who has conservative values. Someone who believes in the right to choose. Someone who believes that’s it’s okay to stand up for righteousness.”
She implored other conservative Disneyland Cast Members to “stand up. It’s okay. You’re not alone.”
Earlier this month, Disney employees on the other side of the aisle staged a walkout in protest of Disney financially supporting the sponsor of the Florida bill and Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s initial response.
