News Release

Shareholder Group and Gender Ideology Opponent to Press Disney on Discrimination at Company’s Annual Meeting

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center, an investor in The Walt Disney Company, and healthcare accountability group Do No Harm, will present a shareholder proposal at the iconic media and entertainment corporation’s annual meeting on April 3. The measure asks the company to investigate its discriminatory pay and benefits policies – specifically addressing where employees affected by gender-switching advocacy have been psychologically or medically harmed, without providing remedial care – and reporting to shareholders why such compensation gaps exist at an allegedly tolerant company. Speaking at the Disney meeting in support of the proposal will be Chloe Cole, patient advocate for Do No Harm, who has testified before legislative bodies nationwide in opposition to gender ideology and its destructive health consequences. Ms. Cole will address the company’s board of directors, including beleaguered CEO Robert Iger, and tell her story about her difficulties in finding medical care and insurance coverage in her efforts to “de-transition,” after trying earlier in her life to switch from the biological sex she was born with. Ahead of the Disney meeting, NLPC released a one-minute video to highlight the shareholder proposal. The corporate and government watchdog also filed a white paper with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month to more fully explain the necessity for the company to investigate its discriminatory policies. “Disney has been so proud about its 100-percent score on the Corporate Equality Index, designed by the pro-LGBTQIA+ Human Rights Campaign, which requires companies to cover sex change treatments in their health insurance offerings,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “Now we call upon Mr. Iger to lead the way for Corporate America to provide equal care for those who have suffered physical harm as a result, and who want bodily restoration. Besides the damage they have suffered, they are also discriminated against.” As NLPC points out in its shareholder proposal, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission considers failure to provide equivalent pay and benefits based on categories including “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” as discriminatory. Even the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed with NLPC that de-transitioning individuals fit under such classifications when considering unfairness in corporate compensation practices. In its opposition statement (p. 104 at link) to the proposal, Disney alleges that NLPC is just trying to “generate attention” with a “narrow focus…to advance a limited agenda.” “Disney acts as if people like me don’t exist,” said Chloe Cole. “I intend to make sure the board and Mr. Iger hear that the company’s irrational gender ideology policies are actually destructive, and that I am a victim of policies like it. De-transitioners like me are not going away. With the numbers of LGBTQIA+ workers at the company who have sought ill-advised sex changes, you can bet that litigation over deception, and discriminatory benefits policies, won’t be far behind.” You can read NLPC’s shareholder proposal at its website.

The ASI Controller Kit includes a wiring harness that plugs straight into the Anthem. DIY installation instructions are available for new and existing Anthem motorcycles. Customers who order the ASI Controller with a new Anthem will only pay a discounted $800 for the controller once it’s ready to ship in April. FINANCE PLANS By popular demand, Ryvid has partnered with FreedomRoad Financial to offer competitive rates and extended term financing options. To see if an applicant qualifies, they simply click the “I Want to Finance” option on the Anthem page at ryvid.com and a member of the Lightning Squad will walk them through the process. The introduction of the new San Bernardino, CA factory facility has led to faster production schedules. This has not only allowed the company to ship the Anthem within four weeks of order completion, but customers can now select from four shipping options. This includes California collection and expedites national delivery to ensure new customers are enjoying the Anthem Electric as soon as possible. At the point of purchase, all California residents will pay tax and registration prior to shipping, ensuring their Anthem is ready to go upon arrival. Residents of all other states will pay the applicable tax and registration at their local DMV. SHOWS, DEMOS & MODEL LAUNCH At the Mama Tried motorcycle show in Milwaukee, WI in February, Ryvid was not only an event sponsor but supported the entry of a modified Anthem by Thor Drake from SeeSee Motorcycles. Competing in the Ryvid-sponsored EV class race, he placed third after an exciting battle. Additionally, Ryvid displayed the Anthem and provided demo rides to show attendees. Looking forward to April 19-21, Ryvid will be a title sponsor of The One Motorcycle Show in Portland, OR. There are big plans for this community event, which will again see the Anthem on display and available for demo rides. As a custom motorcycle show, many customized Anthems will also be on display for the first time, inspiring current and future owners. However, the major news is that Ryvid will debut its brand-new electric motorcycle at The One Moto Show, giving visitors and attending media the chance to see this exciting new model in the flesh for the very first time. More details will be revealed next month, but the groundbreaking concept will offer a revolutionary approach to motorcycle design, purchasing and customization. We can’t wait to reveal it to everybody at The One Moto Show and beyond.
