With political activism at a high point, Austin Rivers took to Instagram to learn more about social issues and the importance of voting.

Tuesday was a historic day in the United States, with dozens of protests taking place to recognize racial injustice and bring awareness to a major issue in the country. That evening, Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers took to his Instagram Live to learn more about what’s at stake right now and why it’s never been more important to vote.

Rivers welcomed Van Lathan, an established media personality and host of The Red Pill podcast, to his Instagram Live to educate him and his followers on several important issues facing the country today.
