LeBron James' More Than A Vote is supposed to combat voter suppression

The three-time NBA Champion has taken his More Than An Athlete initiative, extending it to his voting rights group. While James has partnered with Maverick Carter for the group, athletes like Patrick Mahomes, Trae Young, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Jalen Rose, Udonis Haslem and NFL running back Alvin Kamara have joined the initiative. As per James, the group will work towards protecting African-American voting rights, increasing voter turnout and educating people on the reason that others might stop them from casting their votes.
