The Washington Wizards and Mystics will lead a march today at Capital One Arena at 11 a.m. ET on Juneteenth, which is today. It was initially billed as an event with few additional details, but according to a release by Monumental Sports & Entertainment on Thursday, it will be a march starting at the arena and going to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial at the National Mall.
This march is just part of a broader initiative by the organization to address police brutality and social injustice. These include:
- Employee matching for donations to social justice causes
- Encouraging players to speak out for police reform.
