Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics are in the midst of another memorable run in the playoffs, with the C's set to face off against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Nonetheless, this has not stopped Brown from keeping his eyes on the bigger picture: the issue of systemic racism that continues to plague the nation.

One thing that Brown remains very passionate about is law reform, which he believes will help empower the Black community. Sunday, the 23-year-old openly talked about the George Floyd bill and how he continues to urge the city of Boston to pass it. It's clearly an important issue to him:

“One thing I would like to see in Boston is the George Floyd bill enacted,” Jaylen Brown said, via Tom Westerholm of MassLive.com. “Having conversations about police, qualified immunity, and things like that, some things just need to be held accountable. And hopefully Boston can be a place where a tone is set and it can be transpired in other places and other cities that need it most. And I think Boston is doing a good job of moving in the right direction, but there are definitely some things that need to be changed. It’s some companies, some organizations that need to be diversified, some opportunities that people of color can have that aren’t necessarily getting those chances, and just continue to move in the right direction.”

The George Floyd bill covers several key aspects that aims to police the police. It has reportedly already passed the House.

Brown then shared how pleased he is with how the Celtics have acted in the midst of the recent rise of police brutality cases throughout the country. He's truly proud:

“I’m proud to be a part of the Celtics organization,” Jaylen Brown said. “I’m proud to have an ownership group, or a leadership group, that’s willing to take these steps because they recognize that we need to live in a better more forward progressing world, and I’m happy that they asked my input as a 23-year-old coming from disadvantaged communities and having a certain perspective being here in Boston, growing up in Atlanta and going to school in California-Berkeley. I’m just happy that the mindsets are shifting and hopefully we can continue this and make this a long-term commitment as well as a short-term.”

Jaylen Brown was one of the many NBA players who was active during the protests stemming from the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police back in May. As a matter of fact, Brown even went as far as leading a peaceful rally in the streets of Atlanta. This speaks volumes to the type of person Brown is off the basketball court.
