Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been a leader among sports figures in speaking out on political topics. On Tuesday, as the Warriors raise another championship banner in Oracle Arena, Kerr is leading on another issue: encouraging Americans to vote in the November elections.

Kerr and his squad are teaming with the nonpartisan organization Rock the Vote on a voter registration campaign by starring in a series of online videos. The deadline to register to vote in California is Oct. 22.

“It says in the Constitution that we are a government of the people, for the people and by the people,” Kerr says in one video. “And guess who the people are: Us. So let’s get out there.”

Warriors guard Shaun Livingston says in one video, “Many young people do not know there’s a midterm election coming up Nov. 6.” He says he’s helping teammates, friends and family to sign up, and adds, “I’m getting registered today, for sure.”

Forward Kevin Durant is shown holding a tablet as he says, “Trying to get registered to vote, man. It’s important. You get to dictate the future by doing this.”

Guard Stephen Curry is shown holding an “I’m a voter” pin.

Rock the Vote spokesman said it helped seven Warriors players and two coaches either register or re-register to vote.

“The Warriors have been a very great partner of Rock the Vote,” executive director Carolyn DeWitt told The Chronicle’s “It’s All Political” podcast. “They invited us to talk to the players at their practice and register the players and talk to them about using their platforms.”

DeWitt said Kerr “is an amazing leader, not just for his team but in the professional athlete space. He thinks what a lot of us do — that this is the most important election of our lifetime.”
