Lasry, who participated in a racial justice protest last month in Milwaukee alongside Bucks players, said for several years he and his family have made advocacy for social change a part of their role. “We’ve gotten very, very involved in trying to bring about change and social justice in Milwaukee and around the country,” he says. He said the widespread support of recent Black Lives Matter protests has surprised him. “That’s actually great that I think you’ve seen a real shift in how people now view this, and that people actually want to bring about change,” he says.
