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 Russell Westbrook, Jamal Crawford, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, John Carlos, Craig Hodges, Swin Cash, Chamique Holdsclaw, Torrey Smith, and many more.

This volume will be an inspiration for many different people: sports junkies, young readers who need words of encouragement from their favorite athletes; parents seeking positive messages for their children; activists who want to hear athletes using their voices to address social justice; and schools that need motivational material for their students.
