Target: U.S. Consumers
Goal: Boycott Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for its owner’s financial support of anti-vax, anti-democracy, and pro-climate change politicians.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is one of the most iconic resorts in the world, but its owner supports Donald Trump and his legion of conspiracy theorist politicians. The resort is owned by Jay Kemmerer, who is the heir to a coal mining business fortune.
Kemmerer has a history of supporting right-wing causes but his latest fundraising was in support of some of the most extreme members of Congress, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
According to reports, Greene has promoted numerous white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. She has also reportedly indicated that the Parkland school shooting massacre was faked. She is also anti-vaccine and anti-mask and said the latter was like Jews being put in gas chambers during the Holocaust. Naturally, she is also opposed to efforts to combat climate change and doesn’t believe the science of evolution. She has also advocated for an abandonment of democracy itself through her lies that Trump won the 2020 election and that he should take power.
Skiers and snowboarders are a diverse group, but many of them would be shocked to learn that the money from their season passes and other purchases at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is going to an owner who supports some of the most bigoted politicians and conspiracy theorists in the United States with that money.
The outdoor clothing company Patagonia has already announced that they will no longer be doing business at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Their company’s mission is to “save our home planet.” Consumers should follow suit and boycott Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in order to stop supporting hateful ideology and anti-science propaganda that is promoting the destruction of the environment.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Consumers,
If you support science, public health and democracy, then you should know that money you spend at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is financing an owner who is sending your money to some of the most hateful and anti-American politicians in the United States.
Resort owner and coal mining heir, Jay Kemmerer, has a long history of supporting right-wing causes but his latest fundraising was for some of the most despicable politicians in the United States.
Some of the beliefs promoted by the politicians he supports include anti-vaccine, anti-mask, anti-Jewish, anti-science and other hateful ideas such as claiming the Parkland shooting massacre was fake. They also have advocated for the overthrow of America’s democratic system by promoting Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election.
Skiers and snowboarders are a diverse group, but supporting such hateful ideologies is a line many won’t cross. Please join our calls to stop the hate.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
