Chris Paul is using his platform to call for increased voter turnout.
The Thunder point guard filmed a video Saturday night for the 13th annual Roots Picnic, which partnered with When We All Vote.
"Only 40% of Black people ages 18 to 24 voted in 2016," Paul said. "That is not OK, but we can change that. For centuries, Black people in America have had to fight for equal rights and justice under the law.
"Here's what we know. When we organize, when we strategize, when we come together, and when we vote, we have the ability to change things.
