Lonzo, LaVar Ball, Big Baller Brand take part in #BlackOutTuesday movement

As the country continues to reel from the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests that have broken out not just across the United States but the world as a whole, many took to social media on Tuesday to voice support. In a movement that quickly took over the country with both common people, athletes and celebrities alike, #BlackOutTuesday was most prominent on Instagram as users posted a plain black image as a post.

The aim of the movement was to increase awareness as to the meaning behind the protests. The movement also was designed to push forward foundations that were accepting donations in aid of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The entirety of the Ball family took part in the movement on Instagram as each posted a #BlackOutTuesday post.

Lonzo continued using his platform to spread awareness as well, sharing posts from Roc Nation and Dwyane Wade to his Instagram story. On Monday, Ball was named a member of the newly-formed Social Justice Leadership Coalition with the Pelicans and Saints organizations.

All three Ball brothers took part in a peaceful protest on Sunday afternoon in Chino Hills and shared posts in support of Floyd and Black Lives Matter on Sunday evening.
