Ever since the murder of George Floyd, Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes has put his money where his mouth is.
Barnes will donate $200,000 to help fight police brutality, and racial inequality in America. He is donating $25,000 for each of the eight games the Kings are playing in the NBA restart. The organizations that will receive the funding are:
- Trayvon Martin Foundation
- Botham Jean Foundation
- The Atatiana Project
- Mothers Against Police Brutality
- The Michael Brown Foundation
- Tamir Rice Foundation
- The Jordan Davis Foundation
- The African American Policy Forum
Barnes has been very active in social just causes over the past few months and joined the Black Lives Matter protests often in Sacramento prior to making the trip to Orlando, Florida to join his teammates.
