Monday, September 22 - Boycott Disney + ABC / Hands off Gender Affirming Care / Messaging, Media, and Digital Engagement Training 9/24
Partner Action: Boycott Disney + ABC
On September 17th, Disney-ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel Live off the air—just hours after the FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened the company over Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s murderer. Make no mistake: this is what creeping fascism looks like—media silenced and censored for daring to dissent. It comes only months after The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was cancelled at the president’s request, and now Trump is publicly calling for Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers to be “next.”
And there's a bigger picture here… Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group own the largest number of local ABC affiliates. Nexstar is currently seeking approval from the FCC for business deals. You know who else is seeking approval, ESPN (owned by Disney) to buy the NFL Network. In other words these media giants have every incentive to bend the knee to authoritarian pressure coming from the FCC to get their deals across the finish line.
We’re done watching this unfold in silence. If Disney-ABC, Nexstar and Sinclair keep caving to this administration, it's time we speak in the only language they seem to respect - our voice as consumers.
👉 Check out simple ways to take action to boycott Disney-ABC, Hulu, and ESPN.

Partner Action: Tell the FTC - Hands off Gender Affirming Care
The FTC has launched a harmful Request for Information (RFI) to target gender-affirming care, labeling it an “unfair and deceptive practice.” This reckless move ignores decades of research and clinical expertise, which show that gender-affirming care is safe, effective, and lifesaving for transgender youth. Well-trained clinicians oversee this care using evidence-based guidelines focused on informed consent and open communication. Instead of protecting public health, the FTC’s actions are rooted in bias and misinformation, harming vulnerable communities.
A public comment period is open, and your voice is urgently needed. This is a critical opportunity to support gender-affirming care for adolescents.
👉 Submit a public comment to defend essential healthcare before Wednesday, September 24.
