The New PSA for My Brother’s Keeper Has Us Inspired
President Barack Obama established My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) back in 2014 to bridge the gap between ambition and achievement for boys and young men of color. Since the launching of this non-profit, nearly 250 cities have joined in on the movement to reduce barriers and expand opportunities.
The newest PSA for My Brother’s Keeper features Chance the Rapper and Steph Curry along with President Obama. The 60-second long video opens with Obama saying, “I want you to know that you matter. There is nothing, not a single thing, that’s more important to the future of American than whether or not young people all across this country can achieve their dreams.”

As previous public service announcements for MBK remind us, you don’t have to be an NBA star or the President to get involved and make a difference. You can contribute to the movement by volunteering to mentor or donating money.
