Disney utilizes a decentralized cooperative multidivisional (M-form) organizational structure. This focuses on different business types and is common in diversified companies that have a wide breadth of operations, especially where these operations are carried out globally.

Owing to its size, the company doesn't operate in unison; there are multiple subunits and child companies that come under the Disney umbrella but are for all intents and purposes independent ventures.

While CEO Bob Chapek sits at the top of Disney's organizational chart, he is followed by a long list of chairmen, C-level executives, and senior vice presidents who each have their own business segments to manage. For example, chairman James Pitaro oversees ESPN and Disney's cable channels while chairman Alan Bergman oversees Disney Studios. These chairmen are joined by other top executives like Jenny Cohen, the executive vice president for social responsibility, and Latondra Newton, the chief diversity officer.

There are three main elements to Disney's huge corporate structure:

1. Business segments and divisions

2. Centralized functional group

3. Geographical divisions

United Kingdom

Company Perspectives:

Amnesty International's vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. Amnesty International undertakes research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

History of Amnesty International

Two students in Portugal raise their glasses and toast, "To freedom." Akin to the butterfly whose wings were reputed to have started a hurricane, this simple act launched a worldwide organization that has changed the way people think about human rights. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977, Amnesty International (AI) is a force to be reckoned with. With a membership of more than 1 million worldwide and originator and sponsor of countless campaigns for a host of human rights issues, AI is, in the words of Jean-Pierre Hocke, former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, "simply unique."

Amnesty International founder, Peter Benenson, was a wealthy British lawyer with a social conscious when he read about the Portuguese students in the fall of 1960. At the time, Portugal was under the dictatorial rule of António Salazar. The two students who toasted to freedom were arrested and sentenced to seven years in jail for this offense.

Benenson had been involved in human rights issues for nearly 20 years prior to 1960. He founded "Justice," a British lawyers' organization working to further the cause of the UN's Declaration of Human Rights. After reading the article about the students, he approached Louis Blom-Cooper, the legal correspondent at the London Observer. Benenson had an idea for an amnesty campaign for political prisoners. Blom-Cooper suggested an article in the Observer to launch the campaign. Benenson and his friend Eric Baker, and several of Benenson's colleagues, spent the next several months outlining a strategy for their "Appeal for Amnesty, 1961" campaign. Along the way, Baker and Benenson collected material for a book on political prisoners' cases, called Persecution '61.

According to Linda Rabben's Fierce Legion of Friends: A History of Human Rights Campaigns and Campaigners, "The Appeal for Amnesty had four aims: to work impartially for the release of those imprisoned for their opinions; to seek for them a fair and public trial; to enlarge the right of asylum for political refugees; and to advocate for effective international machinery to guarantee freedom of opinion."

The Observer's editor, David Astor, who knew Benenson, gave him free space in the newspaper. On May 28, 1961, "The Forgotten Prisoners" was published. The piece highlighted eight such prisoners, from various countries around the world. The response to the article was swift and tremendous. Newspapers around the world picked up the piece and ran it. Letters, donations, and information on other prisoners of conscience flooded to the Observer and the Appeals Office. Benenson and his colleagues put responders who lived close to each other in touch and encouraged the formation of local groups. Benenson came up with the "Threes" idea: each local group would be given three names of prisoners from the three different political blocs (Communist, West, and Developing World), and the group would be responsible for the campaign to release these prisoners and assist their families.

Diana Redhouse, a British artist who also founded what may be the first AI local group, was asked by Benenson to design AI's logo, a candle surrounded by barbed wire. Benenson said the image was inspired by an ancient proverb: "Better to light a candle than curse the darkness." The first Amnesty Candle was lit in December 1961. By that time, Benenson and representatives of groups working outside Britain had met and decided that the work was too important to last for only one year. The organization's name was changed to Amnesty International. By mid-1962, AI groups were in place or forming all over the globe, including West Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, Ceylon, Greece, the United States, New Zealand, Ghana, Israel, Mexico, Argentina, Jamaica, Malaya, Congo, Ethiopia, and India.

A New Model for Objective Advocacy

Benenson and his colleagues set up AI as a nonpolitical, nonreligious organization. The group established that it would not accept money from governments or governmental organizations and thus would be able to remain objective, not subject to political pressure. The organization set out to follow Voltaire's famous philosophy: "I may detest your ideas, but I am prepared to die for your right to express them." AI decided never to engage in comparisons between countries nor flag any political system as inferior or superior to another. The London Times pointed out AI's truly impressive impartiality, when AI was announced as the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1977: "[Amnesty International] is disliked equally by Chile and the Soviet Union, by the Philippines and South Africa."

Before taking on a case or publishing a country report, AI practice has been to appoint a Research team to verify the facts of the case. The organization's accuracy has been widely recognized and its credibility has helped it remain influential. AI policy established that members would not work on their own country's research or on behalf of prisoners in their own country. Nor would members be responsible in any way for any of AI's work in their own country. Members could, however, lobby their government to implement human rights measures.

Prisoners of conscience adopted by AI, become the subjects of a global campaign. Members write letters on the prisoners' behalf, support the prisoners' families, arrange vigils, and more. AI also issues Urgent Action appeals for prisoners who are in imminent danger due to factors such as ill health or prolonged poor prison conditions. The first Urgent Action appeal, issued on behalf of Professor Luiz Basilio Rossi of Brazil, was issued on March 19, 1973. "I knew that my case had become public, I knew they could no longer kill me. Then the pressure on me decreased and conditions improved," he said.

In addition to its research and publicity campaigns, AI has routinely sent missions into hot spots around the world. The missions' delegates are carefully selected based on the proposed delegates' qualifications, experience, and gender in countries where the latter might be an issue. Missions always enter a country with permission. Missions often (but not always) have presented their report to the host country's government. At times a mission would be refused entry into a country and in some cases delegates have been harassed and imprisoned.

A nine-member International Executive Committee (IEC), whose members are elected every two years, governs AI. The IEC consists of seven members, each representing a different area of the world in which AI is active. Other members of the IEC are a treasurer and a member from the International Secretariat, AI's London headquarters. With the exception of the International Secretariat representative, the International Council elects all IEC members. The IEC meets at least twice a year. Its members can serve up to three consecutive two-year terms.

The International Council consists of IEC members and representatives of AI's sections. It is, according to AI's statue, the "ultimate authority for the conduct of the Affairs of Amnesty International." The International Council determines AI's strategic plan, and its "vision, mission, and core values." The Council is also responsible for accountability among AI's sections, and for evaluating performance against goals in the organization at large. The Office of the International Secretariat in London, handles the daily operations of AI. The secretary general is the head of the Office of the International Secretariat.

AI's "mandate" is the set of rules that has established the organization's action parameters--what the organization and its individual groups can and cannot do--and goals. The early mandate was simple, focusing on articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Prisoners of Conscience Campaign. In the mid-1970s, AI added a rule, forbidding members from taking on cases in their own country. Over the years the mandate expanded to include many social issues, such as women's rights and the rights of asylum seekers in the country to which they flee. In a controversial decision, AI added to their list of prisoners of conscience, people imprisoned solely due to their sexual orientation. Many members worried, over the years, that with each expansion of its mandate the organization was spreading itself too thin, and its work would suffer. So far, it appears that has not been the case.

The Crisis Years: 1962-1967

In 1962, AI decided to take on the case of Nelson Mandela, who was charged with trying to organize a strike and leave the country without a passport. At the time, he was leading peaceful antiapartheid activities. In 1964, Mandela was charged with sabotage and sentenced to life in prison. His turn to violence meant that, according to AI's mandate, he could no longer be considered a prisoner of conscience. But the British group that had adopted him continued campaigning for his release. Their actions resulted in a crisis that led to a membership poll. The overwhelming majority felt that AI should stick to its mandate and drop Mandela as a prisoner of conscience. However, many people felt it was wrong to abandon him at the time he was sentenced to a life term. The compromise that was reached, and used many times later for other cases, was that Mandela would be dropped as a prisoner of conscience. However, AI would petition the court on his behalf if it found out that the prison conditions were inhumane, if torture was used, or if the trial was deemed unfair.

In 1966, a far worse crisis erupted that threatened to destroy the organization. It resulted in Peter Benenson's resignation as president, and his severing his ties with AI for a few years. The crisis began with AI's decision to investigate British conduct against suspected terrorists in Aden, a British colony. The Swedish section of AI was given the task of investigating the allegations. Once the highly critical report was written, Benenson was convinced the London office was suppressing it under pressure from the British Foreign Office. After investigating the report in person, Benenson published it himself in Sweden. And he became convinced that the British government was unduly pressuring someone at AI, probably then Director General Robert Swann. Benenson began a campaign to move AI's headquarters to Switzerland, known for its neutrality. He could not convince anyone else at the organization of this need. Eventually, Benenson contacted famed human rights activist and AI member Sean MacBride, and together they decided to appoint an impartial investigator to look at Benenson's allegations. While the report was being compiled, proof that Benenson himself took money from the British government to finance a fact-finding mission in Rhodesia came to light.

In March 1967, with AI on the brink of self-destruction, the executive board held an emergency meeting, in which Benenson's resignation was accepted. The position of president was abolished, and Eric Baker was chosen as interim director general.

Building A Strong Organization: 1968-1992

Eric Baker faced a formidable task--with morale at its lowest and distrust in the London office running high, Baker had to reestablish AI's stability and sense of purpose. His leadership skills proved equal to the task. By July 1968, when Martin Ennals was appointed secretary general, the number of AI groups was growing again, and more than a tenth of the prisoners of conscience the group adopted were freed.

Ennals headed AI for 12 years, and the highlight of his administration was the Nobel Peace Price awarded to the organization in 1977. He was known as a warmhearted individual, eager to help in every situation. These characteristics helped reduce the tension and mistrust that still lingered in the wake of the 1966 crisis. Under Ennals' direction, AI formalized its stand against the death penalty, and formalized its methods of work.

Thomas Hammarberg was chosen as secretary general in July 1980. He was more of a stickler for rules, compared to Ennals. He strode to streamline the organization, and placed emphasis on clarity and consistency in AI's global communication. In the first two years of his administration, AI doubled its membership.

Ian Martin, Hammarberg's successor, saw AI through the changes in Eastern Europe that started in 1989. In addition, as part of his campaign to attract younger members, he came up with the Human Rights Now! Rock Tour, a tour that swept through 19 countries featuring the likes of Peter Gabriel and Sting. Martin initiated sweeping organizational changes in the Secretariat, and introduced management training to the people in charge.

In 1992, AI saw its first secretary general from outside Europe--Pierre Sané from Senegal. Sané brought AI into the campaign for a human rights commissioner inside the United Nations, a position that was established and grew into a prominent and visible human rights advocate. As AI entered the new millennium, it recorded another first in Secretary General Irene Khan, the first woman, first Muslim, and first one from Asia to serve in that position.

The Nobel Peace Prize: 1977

When AI was selected to receive the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize, it was only fitting that it won the award on the Prisoners of Conscience Year. AI designated the award money to promote the organization in the Third World, where its presence was traditionally weak.

The Nobel Committee based its selection on a number of factors, not the least of which was AI's apolitical stance. In the presentation speech, Aase Lionas, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, also cited the impressive results AI achieved in its prisoners of conscience campaign. Of 6,000 prisoners AI adopted between 1972 and 1975, more than 3,000 had been released.

AI's secretary general, Martin Ennals, remained true to form and elected to keep a prior commitment--AI's first anti-death-penalty conference--instead of going to Oslo to receive the prize. In its place he sent a delegation headed by IEC chair Thomas Hammarberg. Mümtaz Soysal, a former Turkish prisoner of conscience and the IEC's vice-chair, delivered the Nobel lecture for AI.

The award was considered by many to be the second recognition of the organization by the Nobel Committee. Sean MacBride had won the award in 1974, for a peace activism career that included many leadership years at AI.

The New Millennium: Changing Times and a Youthful Image

AI, known for creative campaigns, proved itself capable once again in October 2000. A pilot Web site for AI campaigns, www.StopTorture.org, took AI's letter-writing campaigns into cyberspace. Winner of The Revolution Awards 2001 for "best use of e-mail," StopTorture allows registered users to launch an e-mail avalanche as soon as they are alerted to a case AI wants to take on. In Lebanon, the government found itself pleading with AI to stop the e-mails just one day after a petition for the rights of asylum seekers in Lebanon went up on the site. The Web site idea stemmed from a research done by AI that showed, according to the Web site developers, that "the chances of an individual being tortured are greatly reduced if awareness can be raised within the first 48 hours of someone being arrested or abducted."

Another creative new campaign for AI began in 1998, with the creation of a fund marked toward the purchase of stock in corporations that can be subject to shareholders' actions. The fund's most prominent purchase was stock in Exxon Mobil Inc. AI planned to introduce a shareholders' resolution during the May 29, 2002, Exxon Mobil annual meeting, calling on the company to promote human rights in some of the volatile areas the company does business in, such as Chad and Nigeria.

A member survey in 1999 revealed a disquieting fact about AI. Members were getting older, and for an organization wholly dependent on member support, this was a problem. In the spring of 2000, AI hired Bonnie Abaunza to head a new national office of artist relations. Abaunza started Artists for Amnesty, a campaign aimed to enlist young, popular, Hollywood luminaries who would lend their "star appeal" to the aging organization. AI hoped to start attracting high school and college students in order to continue building "a culture of human rights," as Dennis R. Palmieri, spokesman for Amnesty International USA, said in January, 2002. Palmieri continued: "And in order for us to do that, we have to be at the epicenter of pop culture." In 2002, AI was planning its first post-Oscar party, and a film festival in West Hollywood, with a human rights theme, of course.

On its Web site, AI quotes a former torturer from El Salvador "... if there's lots of pressure--like from Amnesty International or some foreign countries--we might pass them on to a judge. But if there's no pressure, then they're dead." Since 1961, the organization has proved that individuals coming together can wield enough power to sway countries and affect real change. With the changing times AI has to modify some of its tactics, but has remained true to its philosophy and ethics to make the world a better place for all people.

Ethan Diamond founded Bandcamp in 2008 after being frustrated by the clunky process of trying to purchase music from the website of one of his favorite artists. His goal? Launch a site that would benefit both musicians and their fans. Bandcamp does just that, handling all the back-end functions that enable artists to sell online without being forced into pricing structures, and making it just as easy for consumers to buy tunes without being subjected to ads.

On Bandcamp, artists set the price for their downloads, CDs, vinyl and other merchandise, such as T-shirts. They can also offer goods on a pay-what-you-wish model. On average, fans pay 50 percent more than the minimum price; every day, Diamond says, there are examples of die-hards paying as much as $100 for a track or $500 for an album.

Communicating Sustainability

Rethinking Climate is a youth-led nonprofit that tries to open conversations about complex and overlooked climate issues to make them more personal, accessible, and inclusive through research, interviews, and direct engagement and activities. This is about HOW we talk about sustainability and its narrative.

For effective messages, we need
experienced communicators

It was Science Magazine that analyzed how being an effective communicator should not be taken for granted. It takes more than a course, seminars, or workshops to train anyone - yes, even scientists - to become effective communicators. This does not mean their message is wrong - just a note for climate deniers - but it means that not always does their message get through. Why?

complex and global

Speaking about sustainability and climate change is complex. The topic is complex. It presents a lot of data that looks also at a global perspective. Involving issues far from us, which can make us feel detached.

interdisciplinary

Climate change is a topic that impacts many areas of our lives. Also, some which we cannot control, others in which we can.

emotional

News on the TV, articles everywhere, advertisements, information online...it seems the whole world woke up just a few years ago suddenly deciding they cared about sustainability. While this is a positive step, it can make us feel overwhelmed.

What can we do?

ask questions towards intellectual honesty

When the say goes that there aren't any "stupid" questions, that is true! Maybe incorrect ones, but questions exist to help us learn. If we ask, we are curious. Ever asked a denier why they take so much time to tell the rest of the world that climate change does not exist?

With a similar philosophy, we carry out focused interviews with experts from various fields related to the climate crisis: politicians, (local, regional, international) scientists, journalists, climate activists, academics, and others.

engage

We organize workshops, events, and collaborate with multiple communication platforms.

Our mission is to make the climate narrative more inclusive.

research

In collaboration with experts from different fields, we carry our research on the climate narrative and facilitating climate action.

You can join and support our mission!

Are you interested in joining our cause or would like to support our team? You can do so!

written In collaboration with Lorena Gridelli

Interviews conducted and images provided by Ruth Mawia Mwanzia

Young climate activists have been affected by climate anxiety, a mental health disorder that leads to challenging emotions caused by environmental issues. What can be done?

Eco-anxiety (also known as climate anxiety) was defined for the first time in 2017 by the American Psychological Association as "a chronic fear of environmental doom". This phenomenon is widely spread especially among younger generations that feel the weight and the responsibility of this race against time to save the planet. However, it's fundamental to stop the narrative of eco-anxiety being a psychological reaction of oversensitive young people, and to start representing it as a rational response to catastrophic and traumatic climate events. Clearly, the mental health impact of the climate crisis is one of the many effects that climate change has had on our society, as Anita Soina explained in her interview.

Eco-Anxiety: As Seen By Climate Activist

Anita Soina is a Kenyan climate change activist and founder of the Environmental Organizations " Spice Warriors ", Spice Warriors Kids, and the TV Project "Green Warriors". She is also an author and was a speaker at the 2021 TEDx, doing all this at 21 while pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in PR and Corporate Communication at the Multimedia University of Kenya.

She and many other young climate activists have been at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Although the fight for this cause is necessary, being aware of the existential threat that is going on in the world and seeing in action from the people in power time after time again has started to weigh on these activists: "Apart from the normal, Climate Anxiety also known as Eco anxiety. It is the fear, anger or stress that develops as a result of being aware of climate change effects.". This topic reaches activists moreover than the rest of the population, nonetheless, it is not exclusive to them, as eco-anxiety reaches a plethora of people, especially young people, who are aware of the climate crisis. In an international survey carried out in all six inhabited continents, it was found that around half of all young people feel that stress brought upon from the climate crisis affects their everyday life, and over half of them thought the planet was "doomed" .

A Widespread Problem

This phenomenon of eco-anxiety is translating every area of young people's lives, from how they think about the present to how they are planning their future, with around 40% of young people being worried about whether they should have children and if the world will be able to sustain them. This fear that can be seen as irrational by people less informed is completely understandable to anyone educated about the subject and keeping up with recent developments in the fight against climate change and inaction by international institutions, as Soina stated: "The actions we take today cannot help that much unless we put in more efforts, more favorable policies and push towards 100 percent implementation. Too many conferences, workshops, and so on, to discuss solutions that very few are implemented.".

How Do We Move From Here?

However, just because being informed of the current state of the world creates this condition amongst young people, it is still the only way to make a reasonable change and to rally the world behind the fight against climate change and climate injustice, and the only way to prevent this to linger on for years to come. The solution to climate anxiety is not becoming misinformed or apathetic to the subject matter, it is twofold.

Practice Sustainability Everyday

We should initially practice sustainability in your everyday life and do whatever you can, no matter how small, to contribute. Even if you know that your contribution is relatively small, acknowledging that you are doing all to your power is a good start to having better mental health.

Advocate For Stronger Climate Education

Then we should advocate for the further spread of education and further action against climate change because that is the only way that future generations will not face the same problems and the only way to help with the crisis, as Soina stated when asked how we can help solve the crisis: "Coming up with policies that help to protect the planet, mass education, mass tree growing to help increase the forest cover, ban single-use plastic with alternatives and including environmental education in the curriculum."

Our mission

Smoking Time Jazz Club // Peter Broussard

Early in the development of his autobiography, Prince told his co-writer:
Music is healing. Write that down first.
He said he wanted this to be the book's guiding principle, and that same principle guides and motivates our work at Bandcamp. Because if music heals, then clearly a system should exist that helps the broadest possible range of artists share that power with the world. So we built Bandcamp to directly connect artists and their fans, and make it easy for fans to support artists equitably so that they can keep making music.
Bandcamp's mission is to help spread the healing power of music by building a community where artists thrive through the direct support of their fans, and where fans gather to explore the amazing musical universe that their direct support helps create.
