We Matter: Athletes and Activism

"Etan confronts our collective challenges and reminds us that life is not just a game, but demands a constant struggle for justice."
—Amy Goodman, Democracy Now

Featuring interviews by former NBA star Etan Thomas with over fifty athletes, and interwoven with essays and critiques by Thomas, We Matter, shares the personal tales and opinions of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Steve Kerr, Laila Ali, Oscar Robertson, Dwyane Wade, Russell Westbrook, Mark Cuban, Michael Bennett, Carmelo Anthony, Swin Cash, and many more.
