Real Skateboards is a company that believes skateboarding can be a force for positive change. The company is putting their money where their mouth is by pledging profits from their Actions REALized campaign to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

“The day after the first Travel Ban was rolled out, I got a call from Phil at Humidity [Skate Shop]. He said we should do something. I agreed,” Jim Thiebaud wrote on the Action REALized website. “It was that simple. Skateboarders can do anything they want.”

Along with a custom deck, with artwork created by Chris Wright, the collection includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, stickers and pins depicting the Statue of Liberty holding her right fist into the air.

Check out the site if you want to prove that skateboarders can be a force for positive change.
