James and other celebrities expected to participate - including basketball player Trae Young, comedian Kevin Hart and businessman Maverick Carter - will use their social media presence to provide information to voters. “There will be an active campaign of suppression,” according to the person familiar with James’ efforts. “These athletes are the most trusted members of their communities.”
