Despite his confinement in the Orlando bubble, LeBron James continues the struggles he has embarked on in recent months. One of them even involves… a donation of $ 100,000.
A little over a month ago, more precisely on June 10, LeBron James announced the creation of the project « More Than A Vote ». Along with several other basketball players, athletes and celebrities, the star of the Lakers wishes in this way to make the American population aware of the importance of the vote a few months before the presidential elections.
For this, the King, like Trae Young, Draymond Green, Eric Bledsoe and many others, will try to inform through their regional or national notoriety of the impact that a simple trip to the voting booths can have. They will also try to highlight the tactics used by politicians and the media to reduce the number of votes.
The non-profit organization is also on the verge of carrying out its first major action in this direction, as it announced on Friday on its Twitter account. In reaction to a law passed by the Florida legislature, aimed at preventing former prisoners from voting until they have paid the fine related to their conviction, she makes a donation of 100,000 dollars!
The right to vote should not come with a price tag. #MoreThanAVote @morethanavote is stepping up to help @FLRightsRestore’s efforts to pay these fines and restore our democracy: https://t.co/48p39iS1fA pic.twitter.com/mbhoLeVgii

The right to vote should not be granted at a certain price. More Than A Vote is committed to supporting @FLRightsRestore’s efforts to pay these fines and restore our democracy.

This substantial sum of money, sent to the Florida Rights Restore Coalition, will therefore aim to settle a large part of the said fines, and therefore to restore the citizenship rights of the people concerned. A gesture of magnitude which LeBron welcomed on his own social networks.

So LBJ didn’t just use their 15-minute post-match press conference to speak out on social news in the United States, this Thursday. As he announced before joining Orlando, he does not intend to use the end of the NBA season as a pretext to stop fighting the evils of US society.
Even since the Disney World health bubble, LBJ continues his social activism, and this time has responded to an injustice that reigns in the state he is in with his collective More Than A Vote.
