Kaepernick's 'Million Dollar Pledge' reaches $200K

After pledging $1 million to charities fighting racial oppression and social injustice, Colin Kaepernick is well on his way to fulfilling his promise.

On Friday, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback announced his donations have reached $200,000 as he plans to give $100,000 per month.

We have to continue to keep making steps toward real change! I promised I would donate a million dollars to organizations working in oppressed communities and we're now in the second month of the Million Dollar Pledge! 100k a Month for 10 Months. Go to www.kaepernick7.com to see the organizations that I have donated to that are helping steer that change in the right direction. “I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they’ll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action." - Malcolm X
