Joining forces, the men’s and women’s basketball teams are seeking to continue discussions on the Black Lives Matter movement as well as many other topics.
Starting on July 20, they’re launching Educate to Motivate: A social justice educational series. Each topic will consist of four sections including educate, community, support and activate.
The statement issued also says their first topic on July 20 will be on voting.
It also calls on their previous joint statement, issued back on June 2.

Kudos to the women’s and men’s basketball programs, players and staff on their initiatives. Support them as you can, support their messages as you see fit and be sure to check out their Educate to Motivate campaign on July 20!
