I've sent my emails, made phone calls, sold 90% of my Disney stock (which sucked, because I bought at $43 and sold at $29, but that stock has performed horribly for years...) and let investor.relations@disneyonline.com know why, and so forth.
But what can we do AFTER they show this piece of partisan propaganda?
Jump over for some thoughts.1. Every week (or as often as you can afford), send something "Disney" BACK to Disney. A key chain, a small part of a child's broken Disney character, or hey! something to do with those stinking McDonald's Happy Meal toys that clutter the kid's room.
Ask relatives and friends for THEIR old Disney cack.
If you (or they) don't have any, then go to Goodwill or Salvation Army or yard sales, buy Disney cack for $.25 or $.50, and mail IT back to Disney, always with a note explaining WHY you're mailing it to them.
Out of pocket cost: a few bucks per mailing. Even less if you mail something lightweight in an envelope (key chain, arm off a Buzz Lightyear toy, etc...). Impact on Disney's customer service department? Priceless.
2. Email Disney/ABC every day, and remind them again of your personal boycott. Do it whenever you log in/log out of Dailykos.
3. Contact your mutual fund/401K companies and request that they divest in Disney/ABC. Copy Disney/ABC at investor.relations@disneyonline.com
4. When you do watch ABC/ESPN/etc. throughout the year, note the advertisers. Shoot them an email telling them you won't buy their products, and tell them WHICH competing product you'll buy instead, and tell them why. Recommend nicely that they support NBC/CBS instead. For local advertisers, this could have major impact.
These are some ideas for ongoing activities beyond what we've already done. This firestorm won't have persisting impact unless we continue.
Add your ideas.
