While LeBron James has his Los Angeles Lakers in phenomenal position in the NBA Playoffs, waiting for their opponent in the Western Conference Finals, he’s also busy doing work in trying to get people to remember to use their rights as citizens and vote in the upcoming elections, both nationwide and locally.
James, in partnership with ATTN, released a new PSA on Tuesday with regards to the 2020 Election. While James has been in the bubble, he has been consistently promoting “More Than A Vote” and using his platform to shine a light on the difficulties Black citizens face in trying to simply cast a vote, due to widespread voter suppression.
Among the things More Than A Vote has helped organize were getting sports teams to commit to using their empty stadiums as polling locations, as well as committing over six figures to help disenfranchised voters in Florida get their voting rights back.
