과거 액티비전 블리자드 직원들의 성폭력 및 성차별 소송 건과 관련하여 약 2,500명의 직원이 공개 성명에 참여한 가운데 현지 시간으로 28일(수) 파업이 진행될 예정입니다. 이번 파업은 28일 오전 10시부터 오후 2시까지 진행되며, 블리자드 정문 앞에 모일 예정이라 밝혔습니다. 다만 코로나 시국 가운데 건강 및 보안 대책에 따라 정문 캠퍼스 안으로 진입하지 않으며, 야외 주차장으로 제한하여 진행합니다.


해당 파업을 진행하는 직원 연합측에는 시위에 참여할 수 없는 직원 및 팬분들은 소셜 미디어 #ActiBlizzWalkout 운동을 통해 간접적으로 참여하실 수 있습니다.


Statement of Intent

Given last week's statements from Activision Blizzard, Inc. and their legal counsel regarding the DFEH lawsuit, as well as the subsequent internal statement from Frances Townsend, and the many stories shared by current and former employees of Activision Blizzard since, we believe that our values as employees are not being accurately reflected in the words and actions of our leadership.


  1. As current Activision Blizzard employees, we are holding a walkout to call on the executive leadership team to work with us on the following demands, in order to improve conditions for employees at the company, especially women, and in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups.
  2. An end to mandatory arbitration clauses in all employee contracts, current and future. Arbitration clauses protect abusers and limit the ability of victims to seek restitution.
  3. The adoption of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and promotion policies designed to improve representation among employees at all levels, agreed upon by employees in a company-wide Diversity, Equity & Inclusion organization. Current practices have led to women, in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups that are vulnerable to gender discrimination not being hired fairly for new roles when compared to men.
  4. Publication of data on relative compensation (including equity grants and profit sharing), promotion rates, and salary ranges for employees of all genders and ethnicities at the company. Current practices have led to aforementioned groups not being paid or promoted fairly.
  5. Empower a company-wide Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion task force to hire a third party to audit ABK's reporting structure, HR department, and executive staff. It is imperative to identify how current systems have failed to prevent employee harassment, and to propose new solutions to address these issues.


Walkout Details

The walkout will take place on Wednesday, July 28th. From 10 AM-2 PM, we’ll meet in front of the main gate of the Blizzard Campus. We will not enter the Blizzard Campus due to the current COVID health and security measures. Parking should be restricted to the open parking lot in the building 5 and 6 area (Laguna Canyon Road) as there is no gate to access it.


Employees unable to meet in person may lend their voice to the walkout by stopping work and by sharing their participation on social media with the #ActiBlizzWalkout hashtag. If you belong to a different studio, please feel free to customize the hashtag: #(YourStudio)Walkout.


Community Support

We thank our community for standing with us on this. Please feel free to signal boost the hashtag #ActiBlizzWalkout, and by using the blue heart emoji. We would also encourage anyone who wants to stand in solidarity with us to donate to one of the following charities.
