Join the Movement: Coaches vs. Racism
Every great movement starts with a single step—or, in our case, a single whistle. At Coaches vs. Racism, we believe in the power of sports to unite, inspire, and drive meaningful change. Our nationwide coalition of professional, collegiate, and amateur coaches is dedicated to addressing one of society's biggest challenges: ending systemic racism.
Meet Coach Darnell, a high school basketball coach in Chicago and a passionate advocate for equality. Having witnessed the impact of discrimination and inequality on talented young athletes in marginalized communities, Coach Darnell is committed to building a world where every athlete has an equal opportunity to succeed—on and off the court.
Sports are more than just a game—they’re a bridge to understanding, a platform for leadership, and a powerful tool for transformation. Through education, grassroots activism, and bold initiatives, Coaches vs. Racism is breaking down barriers, sparking essential conversations, and inspiring a brighter, more inclusive future.
This is more than a mission—it’s a movement. And we need you to be part of it.
