WNBA Social Justice Council Meets On Ways To Support Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign
The WNBA’s Social Justice Council is meeting in Paris and discussing ways that the league can leverage its burgeoning popularity to support presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
“We have been talking in the group chat about finding a way to obviously back Kamala as much as we can,” Breanna Stewart, a member of that council who plays for the New York Liberty and the United States Women’s Basketball Team, said here Saturday.
The Council is a partnership of the WNBA and the WNBA Players’ Association. It was formed in the wake of the 2020 death of George Floyd with a mission “to educate, amplify, and mobilize action to address inequality.”
The burgeoning success of the league, which has led to celebrity rookies such as Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, chartered flights, increased attendance, ratings, brand visibility and a $2.2B media rights deal over the next 11 years, hasn’t shifted the players’ focus when it comes to continuing to use their platform to fight for the voiceless.
