Green is among a handful of NBA stars who have teamed up with Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James on “More Than a Vote,” an initiative aimed to address voting suppression in Black communities. He has opposed the “Dental Practice Act,” a California bill that would require dentists to conduct in-person examinations instead of approving treatment plans for aligners. Green said the bill would make treatment increasingly unaffordable in the Black community. And last month, Green and Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy co-wrote an op-ed for ESPN explaining why the NCAA needs to pay college athletes, and how its current system exploits minorities. “I’ll continue to push these issues and stand behind those willing to fight for us as Black people that are being oppressed in so many different situations,” Green told USA TODAY Sports. “It’s important we continue to move forward and continue to stand up for what we believe in. We can’t stop now. The fight is just beginning. It’s far from over.”
