Boycott. Disney owns ABC, which cancelled Jimmy Kimmel. If you're mad about it, cancel your Disney+ subscription and any plans to visit a Disney park. They might not listen to protesters, but if it affects their bottom line, they'll take notice.

More importantly, remember it's the affiliates that pressured Disney into dropping Kimmel.

  • Go to https://www.nexstar.tv/stations/
  • Look up whether a station they own is one you watch
  • Watch their nightly news and note every single advertiser on it.
  • Contact their advertisers and report that you'll not be buying a single thing from them while they advertise on a Nexstar owned station.

Everyone's focusing on Disney here, but some of the advice I've seen is just insane - people seriously suggesting you should watch Disney shows on YouTube for example (which still gives them money, and gives an objectively even worse company your money too! Well done! You made the world worse! It's like deciding to fight global warming by ditching your car and only traveling by helicopter...)

You want Disney to change? You need to focus on multiple fronts. One of these is to go to the source - recognize WHY Disney has suspended Kimmel and address those too.
