Basketball superstar LeBron James tapped a WNBA star to lead his voter outreach group, with a renewed focus on women voters.

The nonprofit organization More Than a Vote, founded by James in 2020 amid the riots set off by George Floyd’s death, fell largely into disuse after the 2020 presidential election. Now James is setting to reboot the project by passing the torch to WNBA player Nneka Ogwumike, who will focus on issues central to women, such as abortion.
