Earlier this summer, Dwyane Wade vowed to find ways to help end racial violence. He's since been vocal and active in trying to inspire social change.

The Chicago Bulls guard issued another call to action Tuesday after an unarmed black man named Terence Crutcher was shot and killed by a police officer Friday night in Tulsa, Okla.

In the caption, Wade implored black Americans to be more united and show they do, in fact, "matter."

Wade's cousin, Nykea Aldridge, was shot and killed in Chicago in August.
