Dozens of film and television writers and actors marched in Manhattan on September 19, 2025, protesting Disney’s suspension of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and denouncing what they described as unconstitutional efforts by President Donald Trump to silence critical media voices. The Writers Guild of America organised the rally outside Disney’s downtown offices, where demonstrators carried signs, chanted slogans, and played live music in defence of free speech. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and television writer Greg Iwinski addressed the crowd, while filmmaker Zach Weinstein warned that the right to criticise the US president was being undermined. Disney-owned ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after the host’s comments about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk provoked backlash and a regulatory threat from the Federal Communications Commission.
