The former NFL player showed up at the encampment along with his girlfriend Nessa and walked around distributing backpacks filled with snacks, air quality masks, shampoo, socks and other important resources. He made this good deed possible with his own foundation called Know Your Rights Camp. This isn't the first time where Kaepernick was seen helping people on his birthday. Back in 2016, he had hosted the Know Your Rights Camp event. He brought a lot of black and Latino kids together to teach them about social justice and their rights in that event.

The @nfl uses their media sources to spew lies and false narratives.
It’s important we hold people accountable who are putting out misinformation to the public. https://t.co/1vb89PAK0c
Kaepernick has not played ever since he opted out of his agreement with San Francisco 49ers in 2016. It was the same year when the NFL star started a protest against the police brutality in the country.
