Hours before the planned walkout today of Netflix’s trans employees and their allies, the streamer issued a statement in support of the protest action.

“We value our trans colleagues and allies, and understand the deep hurt that’s been caused,” a Netflix spokesperson said. “We respect the decision of any employee who chooses to walk out, and recognize we have much more work to do both within Netflix and in our content.”

Organizers of the walkout, scheduled for 10:30 AM today at a Netflix office in Hollywood, said Monday that they will present a list of “firm asks” to company co-CEO and chief content officer Ted Sarandos and are working on a public service announcement supporting their cause that includes participation from Queer Eye‘s Jonathan Van Ness, upcoming She-Hulk star Jameela Jamil, Sara Ramirez, Angelica Ross, TS Madison, Eureka O’Hara and Colton Haynes. (The rally, originally planned for Netflix’s Epic building headquarters, was moved to a nearby office yesterday. See the announcement below.)
