Jaylen Brown implores public to contact representatives to help curb ‘racist surveillance’

Jaylen Brown recently said he’s trying to become more engaged in the local community and help the Boston area thrive.

“I’ve been in Boston for five years, and I’m a Bostonian now in a sense,” Brown told reporters. “It’s a major time of my life I’ve spent in Boston now. I’m trying to be a part of the solutions and not the problems here.”

The 24-year-old Celtics star – who was honored earlier this month as one of six 2020 Bostonians of the Year – took action Monday night by imploring his Twitter followers to contact local representatives in support of racial justice and police accountability.
