With one month to go before the election, the Milwaukee Bucks partnered with Michelle Obama’s nonpartisan organization When We All Vote on Saturday to register voters and distribute groceries. “We know that voter registration is down because there aren’t a lot of in-person events,” organizer Jordan Brooks said. “We also know that people need food and need supplies right now.”

Bucks Senior Vice President Alex Lasry said the organization and the NBA have made access to voting a focus of activity off the court. “We need to make sure people are registered and aware of all the local elections that go on,” Lasry said. “That’s going to have the most impact on our community. I think that’s something that we take very seriously.” Lasry said the Bucks want to be a “community team,” which is why starting Oct. 20 through Nov. 1 voters can go to the Fiserv Form for early voting.
