Gone are the days when influential people were allowed, and often encouraged, to remain neutral in conversations around social issues. It’s 2020 -- meaning younger generations admire and engage with influencers who use their voice and stand for something. Many well-known social media figures are stepping up to the plate, and not simply because it could hurt their image to stay quiet, but because it’s more important in this moment than ever before. Read on for a few of our favorite influencers who are using their platform for social, environmental and political good!
