LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Patrick Mahomes, Sloane Stephens, Toni Braxton and numerous other athletes and celebrities have signed a letter with More Than A Vote to combat Black voter suppression in 2020.

“We saw you in the streets,” the letter, which was shared with The Undefeated, reads. “We saw your social media posts. Your voices are breaking through, but it’s now time to do more. We know you have the ability to organize. So join us and take your protest to the election and fight to keep our community from being silenced."

In preparation for the November election, the group of signees went on to share the “one solution that More Than A Vote is working on," which is to "convert as many arenas and sports facilities as possible into voting precincts.”

"The most important thing you all need to know is Black voters matter more than ever," the letter continues.
