Community

At AT&T, we understand that accessibility is more than a word; it’s a commitment to connect people to the world around them.

Through the AT&T Advisory Panel on Access and Aging (AAPAA), we work to better understand what actions can be taken to improve inclusion for people with disabilities.

We also partner with various organizations that are advancing inclusion, including Disability: IN, National Organization on Disability, Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the American Foundation for the Blind.

Content

Ensuring equal access to the content we create is a key pillar of our disability inclusion strategy, and it’s a core part of making all people feel valued for who they are.

Stage 13, an original content brand within the WarnerMedia family focuses on a new generation of talent and voices in scripted and unscripted storytelling. It’s recent series, Special, follows a gay man with mild cerebral palsy, who decides to rewrite his identity and finally go after the life he wants.

We are proud to support stories and storytellers that bring diversity of experiences and perspectives to life, and we are committed, notably through WarnerMedia, to fostering diversity in front of, and behind, the camera. 

 

WarnerMedia is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, as moral and business imperatives. It is essential that our workforce, content and creative partners reflect the diversity of our society and the world around us. Together, with other production companies, networks, guilds, unions, talent agencies and others in the industry, we all must ensure there is greater inclusion of women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities and other underrepresented groups in greater numbers both in front of and behind the camera. In September 2018, WarnerMedia announced a Production Diversity Policy which included the commitment to report on our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts annually.
