The More Than a Vote coalition started by LeBron James released an open letter addressing Black voter suppression during the COVID-19 pandemic and a call to action in fighting it.
The open letter published Monday at The Undefeated is the first in-depth detail about the group’s mission, specifically in the 2020 election. It also for the first time listed all 47 founding members, most of which are professional athletes.

The More Than a Vote group is not looking to be “politicians or policy leaders” and as a group it will not be partisan (though individuals may speak out specific policies or candidates).
