Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James backs effort to prevent the suppression of the African-American vote by TrevorNews Follow our live updates here:

James’ group, More Than a Vote, will be focused on educating and protecting black voters as well as energizing more to show up at the polls for the Nov. 3 U.S. elections, according to the person who declined to speak publicly about the campaign.

James and other celebrities expected to participate - including basketball player Trae Young, comedian Kevin Hart and businessman Maverick Carter - will use their social media presence to provide information to voters. “There will be an active campaign of suppression,” according to the person familiar with James’ efforts. “These athletes are the most trusted members of their communities.”

How can the GOP say they suppprt African Americans when they repeatedly try to stop them from voting? mkraju SpeakerPelosi JoeBiden Acosta AC360 wolfblitzer andrewrsorkin

Good on them for taking this on! I think we're seeing a new golden age of sports being a positive force in bringing political change. I have to admit i'm pleasantly surprised to see it & I think it will lead to good things for society as a whole

Where's his proof?

LeBron James backs China's oppression. Stop being a hypocrite

He became President in 2016 because he won Michigan by 11,000 votes, Pennsylvania by 47,000 votes and Wisconsin by 22,000. That’s approximately 80,000 votes total. When somebody says that their vote doesn’t matter, please show them these numbers. Please vote for change!

KingJames then stop funding these...

Ahhh so that’s why the black vote is low! It’s other people’s fault for them not showing up. And all this time I just thought they weren’t going. Silly me.

👏👏👏🇺🇸

Biggest Puppet out there.👎

Man who supports Chinese Communist Authoritarian Rule should sit this one out

First of all, if you are a US citizen period, there is no voter suppression. And almost as important, who freaking cares what LeBron backs or supports.. would his wage not deem him privileged?I mean, I seriously will never see those figures, and I'm seriously ok with that..

Work with the League of Women Voters LWV, push to establish binding fed standards for paper ballot based auditable voting machines using open source audited code, physically secure, reliable and are air gapped. Machine vendors should be banned from making political donations.

Every single American has a right to go to the polls to vote.

The oppression LeBron must face everyday. All whites have so much privilege

Strange headline. Huh?

There is no “Black vote suppression”. Needing an ID to open a bank account is not “Black Bank Suppression”

Georgia! Is a disgrace! If they feel that they can win fairly why cheat? Just shows that they want to keep Georgia as a racist state!

Went to school with a majority of blacks. Saw Asians were attacked everyday by the blacks. A systematic racism but itdoesn’t fit the msm narrative. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist if you don’t see in the media. It doesn’t mean it systematic exists if you see a few in the media!

if they can get food stamps they can vote, if they don't need food stamps, they can vote.

The guy who takes orders from China? lol

oh so he's done sucking on chinas dick ? good for him that mnust be exhausting to bend over like this in front of tptb

💙 👑

But captive nations (Uighurs, Tibetans) in China is OK, LBJ?.

The rich and famous need to use their star power for social change, and not just for flaunting their extravagant and privileged lifestyle

Get out the Vote! It’s an important step toward positive change.

TrevorNews How grandiose a statement from a ball dribbler!

TrevorNews They are doing it.

TrevorNews What's he gonna do? Ask China for help?

TrevorNews Me too LeBron. With you all the way. Am 82 year old white dude annoyed with the present situation regarding USA 'nonwhites'. Thought we were for 'all' people. I read somewhere that the USA is for all men being created equal. So, let's get it on folks. Equality for all.

TrevorNews He's gonna get Gov Kemp impeached?

TrevorNews Take a walk down Eddy St in SF and get back to us.

TrevorNews

TrevorNews Isn’t it 1 person, 1 vote in the US? Or have I missed that a vote counts less than others?

TrevorNews

TrevorNews Big Things Come out of that High School Brain!

TrevorNews Rock the Vote version 2.0, because the first one was such a success.

TrevorNews He also loves Communist China and will never be as good as Michael.

TrevorNews Aye, I'm against any suppression of legal votes. Gotta be realistic about voter safety and vote security too, though. Let's get people voting and make sure no one messes with them at vote hubs or steals mail-in ballots. Open avenues to the vote, please?

TrevorNews He’s nothing but an Obummer patsy that openly hates white people.

TrevorNews If African Americans were suppressed I bet KingJames wouldn't be earning a hundred million dollars per annum in 'White America'

TrevorNews Waiting for Trump cultists to call for a boycott of the Lakers now.

TrevorNews Surpress? Anyone can walk into a voting booth. If they can’t walk, there is plenty of assistance.

TrevorNews When is Lebron going to say anything about how much money he makes from China while not speaking up on rights violations and racism in China? The black vote isnt suppressed. He just doesnt like that so many are Trump supporters. GFY, Bron-Bron.

TrevorNews Я верю вам

TrevorNews Tilting at windmills

TrevorNews Oh look another oppressed millionaire that so happens to be black.

TrevorNews Fk KingJames

TrevorNews Racism? How many black lawyers, millonaire athletes,business owners, mayors,council members, doctors, dentists, scientists,police chiefs, fire chiefs, legislators,college presidents,public administrators,policy directors, do we have? white majority even voted in a black president

TrevorNews WHAT suppression of the African-American vote

TrevorNews Watch some dumbasses try an demean him

TrevorNews So what he's really saying is he endorses DemsAreDestroyingAmerica voting fraud.

TrevorNews So gang violence?

TrevorNews Get an ID, put on your Nikes, show said ID, vote. 🇺🇸 Lebron’s voting message. Really! You don’t need to spend your hard earned money. Just keep tweeting that!!

TrevorNews Maybe we implement how your Chinese partner allows its citizens to vote?

TrevorNews Does Chairman James even vote?

TrevorNews What a hero. You mean the the voter suppression that doesn’t exist? That one? He’s always had excuses for losing. That’s why he will never stand next to MJ in game or is character

TrevorNews Go back to Ohio. They need you there. 🙄

TrevorNews Meanwhile, James is still radio silent on China lmfao. What a hypocrite and shame.

TrevorNews ♥️

TrevorNews Knee How to you too

TrevorNews He’s privileged

TrevorNews Really, does anyone give one crap what LeBron James political views are? Give me a break, the guy is an apologist for China due to a white guy called Benjamin.

TrevorNews I am finding it

TrevorNews The incidents of today are bringing forward a new Jim Brown/Mohammed Ali and its 100% necessary Good for LeBron

TrevorNews Clearly they were turned away at the polling stations that's why we need this

TrevorNews Alright! Let’s do this!!!
