LeBron James is going to Georgia this weekend for more than the NBA All-Star Game. The Los Angeles Lakers’ star, one of the organizers of the More Than A Vote organization that aims to stop Black voter suppression and which played a major role in the outcome of the 2020 elections by encouraging voter turnout, will narrate an ad that will be aired for the first time during Sunday’s All-Star Game in Atlanta — in which he vows that the efforts will continue. “Look what we made happen, what our voices made possible,” James says in the 51-second spot.

L.A. Lakers star LeBron James said he intends to use the All-Star Game weekend to fight “voter suppression” as the NBA comes to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Sunday.
With his More Than a Vote group, James will team up with the NBA, the Players Association, and the Georgia NAACP to “combat voter suppression,” according to Fox 5.
The effort will focus on the state of Georgia as the state legislature begins introducing new bills to address the terrible mess into which the 2020 election devolved.
“I use my platform to continue to shed light on not only in my community but around this country and the world,” James said.
