The Timberwolves and Lynx have made Nov. 3, Election Day, an official work holiday and will be granting all their employees the day off so they can vote.
The organizations tweeted the announcement Friday night.
“Election Day, November 3, is now an official company holiday at the Timberwolves and Lynx,” Wolves and Lynx CEO Ethan Casson said in the announcement. “All employees will have the entire day off to be engaged citizens and ensure their voices will be heard.”
It’s one of multiple steps the teams have taken in response to the death of George Floyd.
