In response to recent events, the Walt Disney Company has released a statement addressing their approach and stance on “issues of racial disparity.”

Today, Walt Disney Company chairman Bob Iger tweeted about the statement, noting it was endorsed by himself, Disney CEO Bob Chapek, and Chief Diversity Officer Latondra Newton.
Below is a link to a statement we sent to our fellow @Disney employees. It’s from Bob Chapek, our CEO, Latondra Newton, our Chief Diversity Officer, and me.
Thank you.https://t.co/R6ucJhv26p— Robert Iger (@RobertIger) May 31, 2020
Walt Disney Company Chairman Bob Iger
In the statement, the company references recent events in Minneapolis as well as “other instances of lethal attacks and harassment of unarmed black citizens in our nation.”
The recent killing of George Floyd as well as other instances of lethal attacks and harassment of unarmed black citizens in our nation continue to drive outrage and calls for action by people of all cultural backgrounds, including many of our employees. Feelings of grief and anger cause us to confront the inscrutable idea that the lives of some are deemed less valuable – and less worthy of dignity, care and protection – than the lives of others.
The statement confirms the Walt Disney Company’s dedication to “fostering a culture that acknowledges our people’s feelings and their pain,” and notes that they will continue to “further strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”
In conclusion, the statement calls for honest discussion to activate change and seek solutions.
We intend to focus our efforts and resources to compassionately and constructively talk about these matters openly and honestly as we seek solutions. We intend to keep the conversation going, not just today, but for as long as it takes to bring about real change.

New houseware merchandise items were found this morning sprinkled in throughout a display of old favorites at the recently reopened World of Disney in Disney Springs. Some of the new items sported a new logo for “Mousewares”, although not all of the new items carried this brand, especially the smaller items, so it is unclear if all of these new items are a part of the line. To start, you’ve got to have an apron to work in the kitchen, […]

The Walt Disney Company issued a message to Cast Members today addressing the current unrest in the country. The letter was signed by Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Chairman Bob Iger, and Chief Diversity Officer Latondra Newton.
Here is the message, “Resolve in a Time of Unrest: A Message to Fellow Employees,” in its entirety:
Dear Fellow Employee,
The recent killing of George Floyd as well as other instances of lethal attacks and harassment of unarmed black citizens in our nation continue to drive outrage and calls for action by people of all cultural backgrounds, including many of our employees. Feelings of grief and anger cause us to confront the inscrutable idea that the lives of some are deemed less valuable – and less worthy of dignity, care and protection – than the lives of others.
While these devastating incidents are not new, there’s something unique about what’s happening in this moment. The pandemic coupled with these recent injustices have pushed the issues of racial disparity into the open.
We, too, are struggling to make sense of the recent tragedies that leave us feeling overcome with sorrow. While we don’t have all the answers, we resolve to use our compassion, our creative ideas and our collective sense of humanity to ensure we are fostering a culture that acknowledges our people’s feelings and their pain. We also realize that now more than ever is the time for us all to further strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion everywhere.
We intend to focus our efforts and resources to compassionately and constructively talk about these matters openly and honestly as we seek solutions. We intend to keep the conversation going, not just today, but for as long as it takes to bring about real change.
Bob Chapek, Bob Iger & Latondra Newton
