The 2016 ESPY Awards were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, and NBA superstars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul all spoke out about the racism and violence that has been rocking our nation.

“We asked to start the show tonight this way, the four of us talking to our fellow athletes with the country watching because we cannot ignore the current state of America,” Anthony began. “The events of the past week have put a spotlight on the injustice, distrust and anger that plagued so many of us. The system is broken.”

“We stand here accepting our role in uniting communities to be the change we need to see,” Paul added. “The system is broken. And the racial divide is definitely not new. But the urgency to create change is at an all-time high.” Paul is the nephew of a police officer, which is something he noted in his speech, and Wade added, “The racial profiling has to stop. The shoot-to-kill mentality has to stop. … Enough is enough. Now, as athletes, it’s on us to challenge each other to do even more than what we already do in our own communities.”

James followed up by urging Americans to take action. “It’s time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, ‘What are we doing to create change?'" he said. "Let’s use this moment as a call to action for all athletes to educate ourselves. … We all have to do better.”
