New York Liberty
The New York Liberty is not only a powerhouse on the court but also a beacon of advocacy and community engagement. With a rich history dating back to the league’s inception, Liberty has consistently used its platform to champion important causes and make a positive impact beyond basketball.
Known for their unwavering commitment to social justice, the Liberty players and organization have been at the forefront of movements addressing issues such as racial equality, gender equity, and inclusivity. They have actively supported initiatives like using their games as a platform to raise awareness and demand change. Most recently, triumphed at the Commissioner’s Cup Championship, bringing home not only the trophy but also a $25,500 donation for Callen-Lorde.
Off the court, the Liberty’s community work is equally remarkable. Through various outreach programs, clinics, and partnerships, they strive to empower and uplift underserved communities throughout New York City.
The New York Liberty was honored at the 23rd Annual Community Health Awards in 2023.
