Doug Baldwin on Crosscut Live
On May 27 Crosscut Live, a virtual event series hosted by the local news publication, will bring in Doug Baldwin to discuss the American reckoning over race one year after the murder of George Floyd. After mass protests with calls to defund the police and examine our rampant systemic inequality, brands and organizations (like the NFL) jumped on the bandwagon to denounce racism, but what changes really came about?
Local reporter Monica Guzman will discuss this year in review with Baldwin, one of the most eloquent and forthright athletes from our region.
Baldwin, a Super Bowl Champion and 2-time Pro Bowler, is also known for establishing the Players Coalition, an NFL player-led organization that advocates for criminal justice and education reform. It’s worth noting that the coalition has been successful in helping pass all of the ballot initiatives it has supported into law. Tickets for what will surely be an impactful conversation are available here.
