DATE: May 30th, 2020Across our nation, we are witnessing the real-time expression of years and years of collective pain. The addition of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor to an already unbearable tally of those who have been killed because of the color of their skin has brought to a boiling point the outrage over the systemic racial injustice in this country.
As children, we learn the pledge of allegiance, with the concluding promise that ours is a country built on “liberty and justice for all.” What we have seen in these past several weeks, and if we’re being honest with ourselves, centuries, is example after example of the gap between this promise and the reality in which many live. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said that, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
As a nation, our heartbreak and outrage are not enough. The fabric of our society, the founding promise that all men are created equal, is broken, and it is the responsibility of all of us to raise our voices and be part of the solution. At the same time, we have an opportunity for internal reflection as we ask ourselves hard questions about the beliefs that are entrenched in our culture, and explore how we can become better citizens and stewards for one another.
I know that this comes at a time when tensions are already high and anxiety is ubiquitous as we continue to navigate the ongoing pandemic. In the midst of this incredibly difficult time, know that we are here for you and we remain a community and company that is stronger together and committed to racial and social justice.
Please take care of yourselves and your families and we will strive together to overcome these troubled times.
WHEN all lives matter, black lives will matter.
I this morning I am working to cancel my subscriptions to both.
FilmGob I don't see Disney + ? spineless
Yeah because their 65% of customers are folks without livable wages who want to be entertained at least in their home
jay_hernandez Lolol they don’t want their buildings destroyed.
hulu in a stunning move announces its support for Rioters, Looters, violence against innocent Americans. What a shame a company actually tells people to harm others. When the smoke clears remember who did this!
So authentic.
What about the streaming service from mouse company that apparently is better than Netflix to many?
Jamey_Giddens Besides tweeting, how have they stood up to racism? Asking for a few friends.
These companies need to grow up and grow a brain.....Netflix is already that far to the left it falls off the t.v. T.v companies should make t.v and leave politics to politicians.
CrossfireHurricane starts June 3rd. ObamaGate Still think this wasn't a DNC Plan? You have been played Antifa Soros & DNC DNCRiots
It seems tone-deaf. This is not Black Lives Matter protests. This is Americans protest.
Who wants to play a game. It's called 'Where were you when.....' And GO!
Thank you!🙏🏾
You mean to say take a stand for their profit margins
Take a stand? 😂😂😂🖕🖕🖕
Great marketing move... now let's open up the doors for PeopleOfColor so that I can stop getting auditions to talk like a cholo or be a waiter and getting denied that people like us can hold jobs as characters that are beyond: cooking, gardening and housekeeping.
Shocker 🙄
They BARELY hire Black people
Do they tho
Thank you!
Person 1: “how do we make sure Our headquarters doesn’t get looted and burned” Person 2: “let’s send a tweet supporting them” Person 1:”I don’t really support them but hey if it stops us from being looted and gains us clout let’s try it”
✊🏾🤎✊🏾

Meanwhile CBS allowed police to stage in their parking lot so they could instigate and attack protestors
