T.J. Osborne and John Osborne aren't just sticking to music — their social media presence shows social justice is important to the country stars. In one Instagram post about mass shootings, John shared an illustration saying that the country is stuck in a cycle where things aren't resolved, in part because, according to the diagram, "Congress does nothing."
While not all of his followers agreed with John, many fans commented to thank him for addressing the issue. "Thank you for speaking out despite the risks to your career," one fan wrote. In addition to the post about mass shootings, he's shared Instagram posts about climate change, marriage equality, and the 2020 election.
And John's wife, Lucie Silvas, shared several Instagram posts about the Black Lives Matter movement during the civil unrest that came to a head in late May 2020, following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Silvas posted a video and a photo of the protests, along with an explainer about Juneteenth.
T.J.'s personal Instagram is private, but there are clues that he and his brother share similar views. The Brothers Osborne Instagram account follows former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, and the country artists shared an Instagram post from a Black fan about feeling unsafe at country music concerts, along with several other BLM posts. It's clear they want their fans to feel safe and they're using their platform to stand up for what they believe in.
