Walt Disney Co.’s annual meeting in Denver Wednesday, was politically charged, with protesters — inside the meeting and out — pitching questions about a shareholder proposal demanding the company disclose its lobbying policies and activities, about biased reporting by its subsidiaries ABC News and ESPN, and CEO Bob Iger’s participation on President Donald Trump’s Business Advisory Council.

In between presentations about Disney’s massive cultural and business influence, Iger sparred with activist shareholders on both sides of a proxy proposal demanding the company “reveal whether company assets are being used for objectives contrary to Disney’s long-term interests.”

The National Center for Public Policy Research, a shareholder against the lobbying proposal made by Zevin Asset Management, said if the proposal passes, it could “restrict the company’s ability to engage in relationships beneficial to its business.”

“(Zevin) is not about good governing,” Justin Danhof, the conservative-leaning National Center for Public Policy Research’s general counsel said after the meeting, which was held in the Bellco Theatre at the Colorado Convention Center . “They’re not about transparency and they never comment on corporate America funding organizations, like Planned Parenthood.”

Disney’s board of directors recommended that shareholders vote against the lobbying disclosure and although official votes will not be tallied until next week, Disney said in a press release Wednesday that shareholders agreed with the board.

Danhof also questioned Iger about adversarial reporting by ABC News during a conservative administration.

“I can stand here today and look you in the face and say I am proud of the efforts of ABC News,” Iger said. “There are always going to be people — yourself included, perhaps the president — who are going to believe that it is not being presented in a manner that is consistent with their own beliefs. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are going to be unfair.”

The biggest concern for some at the meeting, though, was Iger’s participation in Trump’s Business Advisory Council.

Rodel Worku, a racial justice organizer for Colorado People’s Alliance, said Iger’s involvement with the council shows that he and Disney are endorsing Trump’s agenda and policies.

Iger disagreed and said he would not leave the group of influential business men and women tapped to advise the president. He said his “presence in the room” was a privilege and a way to express his voice and help make good decisions.

“I am very careful that opinions that I express are opinions that I believe are subjects or policies that benefit this organization,” he said. “For instance, immigration… I happened to believe this company, as has this country, has benefited from an open and fair immigration policy.

“I don’t happen to believe policies that single people out by religion are fair and just,” he said. “That’s just one example of things that may come up.”

But Worku said he does not think Iger will be able to influence a president like Trump.

“Trump is against communities of color, particularly immigrants and refugees,” he said after the meeting. “On one hand, Bob Iger was eloquent in describing Disney’s values and listing out key phrases like ‘inclusivity,’ ‘diversity,’ and ‘respect.’ But there is a lack of transparency of information that does not line up with what Iger says it lines up with. This is the time where folks need to be informed.”

Outside the convention center, nearly 30 people protested with a large blue sign that read, “Disney already has a Donald.”

The group was trying to deliver a half million petitions encouraging Iger to leave the business council, said Lupita Carrasquillo, an economic-justice organizer for the Colorado People’s Alliance.

“We are against Trump’s messages and Iger needs to step down,” she said. “We all love Disney movies and the messages that they teach, but we should not be teaching children a message of hate.”
