Current and former National Basketball Association stars have teamed up to create another fund aimed to combat social injustice and income inequality in the Black community.
Portland Trail Blazers star Carmelo Anthony, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul and former star Dwyane Wade collaborated to launch the Social Change Fund, which aims to invest and help Black communities with criminal justice reform, access to voting and civic engagement.
The Social Change Fund will help empower “communities of color by expanding and increasing Black representation in leadership, and building economic equity for Black people through investment in education, employment, wages, and housing,” a statement announcing the fund said.
