Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul & Carmelo Anthony Launch Social Change Fund

The NBA All-Stars have joined forces to create the Social Change Fund — a new venture built to “support critical and timely issues impacting the Black community.”

“Our mission is to address social and economic justice issues facing Black communities and break down the discriminatory barriers to success,” Paul said in a statement. “The Social Change Fund will help advance racial equality and opportunity. We will unite with other individuals who share our vision and commitment to use our collective voices and resources to advocate for change and foster a more equitable future.”

The Fund will “primarily focus on critical issues including public safety and criminal justice reform, empowering communities of color by expanding access to voting and civic engagement, increasing Black representation in leadership, and building economic equity for Black people through investment in education, employment, wages, and housing.”
