Diversify Disney - please support this campaign

[mitch_ems]

Hello

I recently walked passed the Disney store in London and saw a window full of Star wars dolls - all men. Spiderman was in the background - athlectic, versatile, strong and...male.

I asked the manager where the heroines were, and was directed to various pink shiney dresses and wings. I raged internally for weeks, ranted a bit and have finally set out to do a small something.

I'm utterly dismayed at the role Disney plays in our world, reinforcing stereotypes and biases, and failing to take the global leadership it could and should take in diversity.

Any support for the attached petition would therefore be appreciated, alongside other views, connections and ideas.

Thankyou!

Emma
