One of the biggest issues with social media these days in our minds is that people with influence are too afraid of losing followers to take a stand in what they believe in. Are you listening “social media influencers”? If you have a following and believe in a better world than do something about it. Loss of followers or potential sponsors be damned!

Burton ain’t afraid. The Vermont based company is publicly showing support for Vermont based Bernie Sanders who just happens to be one of the biggest supporters of fixing climate change. Shocking right? Apparently for wacky right wingers, of which we didn’t even know they would be snowboarders, are burning their Burton in the streets. Moving onto conservative companies like Lib Tech and Arbor.

Wait a minute. There are no “conservative” snowboard brands. haha. Join in the fun in the comments on Burton’s Instagram.

 

Sample:

If you’ve been following along, you know how strongly we feel about taking a stance and encouraging everyone to vote. So when our founder, @jakeburton77, saw this creation by a friend of the Burton family, he thought it was cool and wanted to share it. It’s a simple message that says a lot, and to support the cause, Jake will be making a donation to the Sanders Institute.
