Packers CEO & Players Agree on Social Justice Agenda

CEO of the Packers met with his players, talked with and listened to his players, and they agreed to the following 5 social justice initiatives:

• pushing for more body cameras on police officers
• getting people registered to vote
• using the Johnsonville Tailgate Village as a polling station for the upcoming election
• continuing discussions with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and Wisconsin State Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke
• making a $250,000 social justice impact grant (the team has already provided $500K in social justice grants this year).

Was this new for a Packers organization? No. Coach Vince Lombardi informed local businesses they would be blacklisted by the team if they discriminated against any of its players.
