Activist and athlete Colin Kaepernick has been dedicated to amplifying stories about systemic injustices and societal issues impacting the Black community.
Kaepernick Publishing’s mission is to uplift and elevate voices for Black and Brown communities, something that has been desperately needed in the publishing space.
“I am excited for Kaepernick Publishing to partner with Medium to continue to elevate Black voices in the news and publishing industry,” he said in a statement posted on Instagram.
Amid the uprising and the public health crisis, Kaepernick has spearheaded impactful initiatives to support communities in need through his Know Your Rights Camp, including an effort created to provide legal support for activists on the frontlines fighting for justice and a COVID-19 relief effort to combat food insecurity, provide shelter and distribute personal protective equipment.
