Harley-Davidson Hits Brakes On Woke Activism Amid Boycotts &\u00a0Bud Light Treatment At Sturgis<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Commentator and filmmaker Robby Starbuck’s strategy to expose all the insane woke activism within mega-corporations with large conservative customer bases logged another win today.\u00a0This comes on the heels of his successful campaign to pressure\u00a0Tractor Supply into scrapping its diversity<\/a>, equity, and inclusion program and forcing\u00a0John Deere to scale back its DEI policies<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly a month after Starbuck launched the anti-woke crusade against\u00a0iconic motorcycle brand Harley-Davidson in an X post\u00a0titled\u00a0“It’s time to expose Harley Davidson,”<\/a><\/em> Harley issued a press release explaining earlier today,\u00a0“We are saddened by the negativity on social media over the last few weeks, designed to divide the Harley-Davidson community.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to mounting social media backlash and boycotts at the 84th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally earlier this month, Harley succumbed to\u00a0Starbuck’s pressure by\u00a0eliminating\u00a0DEI functions at the company and woke spending goals. This is a victory for Harley riders, as the company now pledges to focus its sponsorships on motorcycling, first responders, active military, and veterans. Also, it said there would be no more woke training for employees.<\/p>\n

Another win for our movement. I couldn\u2019t do this without all of you. @harleydavidson<\/a> just issued this statement where they promise:<\/p>\n

\u2022 No more DEI functions<\/p>\n

\u2022 No more supplier diversity spend goals<\/p>\n

\u2022 They\u2019ll no longer participate in @HRC<\/a> scoring<\/p>\n

Some X users\u00a0suggested that the boycott at the 84th annual Sturgis<\/a> Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota earlier this month was a wake-up call for management.\u00a0The event is the largest\u00a0motorcycle rally in the world. As Starbuck pointed earlier this month,\u00a0the Harley tent at\u00a0Sturgis received the ‘Bud Light treatment’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Add Harley to the list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Not all X users were\u00a0satisfied with\u00a0Starbuck’s win. They said until the CEO and other leftist activists in management are fired, these folks are just going to rebrand wokeism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Until they get rid of those woke executives, they\u2019ll just rebrand this stuff. This letter has too much woke speak. Just like John Deere, they\u2019re fence sitting. Look at the difference between Tractor Supply\u2019s response vs. John Deere and Harley Davidson. Tractor Supply is making\u2026<\/p>\n

It’s not a win until the CEO and board are out! Never count your chickens before they’ve hatched. If manufacturing doesn’t remain and those policies aren’t actually followed through with, then it’s all just surface nonsense. A victory only happens when those things take place<\/p>\n

Until they fire the CEO it’s all fake!! Don’t believe one word that comes out of there liberal lying mouth<\/p>\n

Which major American brand will Starbuck target next?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
