The Broncos announced a series of social justice initiatives Wednesday morning through a new “Broncos Inspire Change” program.
According to a statement by the team, the program was created after a team meeting and breakout sessions Aug. 27 with the players, president/CEO Joe Ellis, general manager John Elway and coach Vic Fangio.
“Our team has had a number of powerful, honest and at times, uncomfortable conversations recently,” Ellis said in a statement. “Listening to the players — and watching what has taken place around the country — has helped us grow as an organization.”
“Broncos Inspire Change” will revolve around education, awareness and funding, diversity and inclusion and activism.
- Education. The players will hold a “Power Hour” meeting every Tuesday “dedicated to player-led social justice causes,” and new initiatives in youth education and mentorship.
- Awareness and funding. In addition to a $250,000 annual contribution from the Broncos toward player-led social justice work, Elway has pledged $100,000 this year to player-designated police reform priorities locally.
- Diversity and inclusion. The Broncos’ newly formed “Diversity & Inclusion Committee” will focus on those two issues inside and outside the organization. The team has committed to adding a full-time, senior-level position dedicated to diversity and inclusion as well as an annual “Career Combine,” for minority candidates.
- Activism. The Broncos will offer full use of Mile High as a polling location and/or ballot box location for the Nov. 3 general election.
