Hundreds of Netflix employees walked out of the company's Los Angeles office at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, leaving work to protest the platform's controversial Dave Chappelle special. Not only does the streaming platform employ office workers, but stars too. And some on-camera Netflix employees also took a stand.
The walkout was organized by "Team Trans" activists who believe Chappelle's comedy special is transphobic. "Team Trans" was made up of members of the trans employee resource group at Netflix, according to protest organizer Ashlee Marie Preston.
Preston, a trans activist who founded a nonprofit that combats food insecurity, not only helped mobilize protesters, but also gathered messages of love and support from several celebrities who could not be at the protest. She compiled their messages in a video shared on Instagram.
