Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu is opening up about the political issues she cares about most — and she’s not holding back.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Liu said the causes that matter most to her include “climate, election things, Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, ICE protests… a ton of that stuff.” She added that “more empathy needs to happen, for sure.”
Liu — whose family immigrated to the United States — also said she believes it’s important to recognize the flaws in government and stand up for immigrant rights, noting that she has attended protests and spoken out about issues affecting marginalized communities.
The comments come as more athletes use their platforms to speak out on politics — a trend that continues to spark debate over whether sports stars should stay out of politics or use their influence to push for change.Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu is opening up about the political issues she cares about most — and she’s not holding back.
