John Oberg is an animal activist and social media expert who describes himself as “an animal advocate that focuses on maximizing [his] impact and maximizing [his] reach.” He finds that the best way he can do that is through social media outreach. He focuses on content that pulls at the heartstrings and makes people feel emotional rather than being grossed out.
“Our purchasing power is our activism. Everything we do is activism. We are always choosing whether to support something or not support something.” John mentions how there are so many things we cannot control, but one of the things we do have control of is what we are choosing to purchase and buy into. There is incredible power behind ourselves and our dollars! As advocates we need to put ourselves in our audience’s shoes.”
Activism can be fun and effective! John has been a vegan activist for 10 years and says that “over my ten years I’ve seen many more people speaking up for animals and being comfortable speaking up for animals.”
