We are fighting to pass clean-slate legislation in Pennsylvania to seal nonviolent misdemeanor records automatically after 10 years. We must provide opportunities for employment, housing, education, loans, and voting. We should not disenfranchise a third of the population.

On or off the field, practice and teamwork are the key to success.

Sports is something that transcends generations, transcends backgrounds, cultures, races. And so the power of sports is real.

The crime bill basically incentivized the prison system. There were quotas, mandatory minimums. You have to serve 85 percent of your time, so it is guaranteeing that bodies will always be locked up. And that went mostly towards minority communities and poor communities, where crime is more rampant.

My wife has an all-natural skin and hair product company. I use all of her products for my beard. She has a beard oil and a beard wash. So that is what I use.

We have that responsibility to look out for those who haven't had the road and the success that we have.

There is nothing that says you can't be active and love your community and fight for your community and still do your job.

I will shop at Asos or Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters is probably where I buy most of my stuff from. I mix and match from different places.

Fashion, to me, is trends - it's what other people are wearing; it's what's hot this season. I'm not as interested in that. Style, to me, is personal. Style is what each individual has.

I didn't realize that the platform could be this big until Colin Kaepernick first took a knee. When he did that, that was kind of an 'aha' moment for me.

For myself and the Players Coalition, it was never about the money or having our voices bought. To hear people call me or anyone else a sell-out is insulting. It has always been, and will always be, about lifting the voices of the people and the work of those that fight for them.

I want to see us push for economical and educational advancement in communities of color and low-income communities, and I want to see our relationships between our communities and our law enforcement be advanced.

I am not really that big into fashion, where I am looking at trends or what everyone else is doing.

When I look at our communities, our country, our justice system, those are things I want to change and I'm committed to changing, and that's going to take sacrifice. Laying the foundation is the hardest part and requires a lot of sacrifice and time.

Communities of color have also had to watch video after video of unarmed black men and women being handled without regard for their lives or well-being. As a black man, I see these images, and I see myself; I wonder whether this will happen to me or one of my loved ones.

Oftentimes, even myself as I've come through my entire career from high school all the way up here, everything has been football, football, football. And then you realize that life is much bigger than this game, especially when you start thinking about life after football and what you want to leave behind.

I'd already been doing work in the community... But when it comes to how to actually amplify your voice, when I saw what Colin Kaepernick did and the amount of coverage and conversation around it, that's when I truly realized how much influence we have as athletes.

Malcolm Jenkins

I'm about creating positive change in the communities that I come from.

Malcolm Jenkins

I want to see changes in our criminal justice system.

Malcolm Jenkins

The people who have been unjustly disenfranchised by our criminal justice system and the people who daily fight for them always have, and always will be, the inspiration and focus of my efforts.

Malcolm Jenkins

I get hate mail. I get bad mail. People say they will boycott you or the team.

Malcolm Jenkins

My goal is to use football as a platform to speak out on things that need addressing.

Malcolm Jenkins

I'm learning the process of changing things. I'm not really sure where this is going to take me. But I know what I want before my career is over: I want people to remember me as someone other than a guy who just tackled people.

Malcolm Jenkins

I want to be remembered as someone that used football to raise awareness.

Malcolm Jenkins

I think when you have a group of guys that care about the community, the city, care about each other, it just makes for a unique locker room.

Malcolm Jenkins

Our biggest thing is, any player who's protesting will tell you that the only reason we use the anthem is because it's a platform like no other. We use it to draw attention to other issues. We've heard from many people, 'Use a different venue. Use a different platform.' Quite frankly, this is the most effective one.

Malcolm Jenkins

For Obama, there was just a lot of enthusiasm in the minority communities to get out and vote. Everybody felt like their vote mattered.

Malcolm Jenkins

I could easily vote for things that benefit me taxwise, but the rest of my family is not in this tax bracket. So when I vote, I try to keep in mind my family and my community and what I think is best for the nation as a whole.

Trump started talking about bringing back stop-and-frisk, which was ruled unconstitutional. And as a black man, that was the last thing I wanted to hear. That you will basically pass laws to say that I can be profiled, and it is legal.

Malcolm Jenkins

I remember my dad always complaining about getting pulled over. I remember the differences in school systems. I remember seeing police officers, not knowing their names, and knowing that they were there not to protect us, not to serve us, but to watch us.

Malcolm Jenkins

When someone finds their own personal style and they own it, they look good in it, no matter what it is.

I grew up playing in the streets. We played two-hand touch from street pole to street pole. That's how I learned the game.

Malcolm Jenkins

We've been doing work outside of the anthem since the beginning. Before the anthem even started, players were involved in these types of social justice issues. The anthem protests or demonstrations just brought eyes and attention to it.

Malcolm Jenkins

After spending time with police officers on ride-alongs, meeting with politicians on the state and federal level and grass roots organizations fighting for human rights, it's clear that our criminal justice system is still crippling communities of color through mass incarceration.

Malcolm Jenkins

I've seen signs of life with regards to bipartisan support for criminal justice reform, but the support does not reflect the necessary urgency for real reform. This must be made a priority.

Malcolm Jenkins

As the blowback against those who stand up for what is right thickens, I feel it is necessary to push forward with a relentless determination.

Malcolm Jenkins

I want to thank the fans across the country who have supported me in this effort to fight for equality and justice. I want to thank those that have dedicated their lives to this fight, as I know that it is not easy. And I want to challenge those who stay silent to be courageous and use your platforms to become part of the solution. God Bless.

I can create as many programs and mentorships and scholarships as I want, but it doesn't change the environment in which our youth are growing up in.

Malcolm Jenkins

You're starting to see more and more athletes recognizing their reach and how much leverage and power that they have in their celebrity and in their platform. And more and more guys are trying to use that leverage to better their communities, to better this country and are speaking out on injustice.

Malcolm Jenkins

If you want change, and you want things to get better across the country, there's different ways to go about it.

Malcolm Jenkins

A lot of guys try to stay out of the political limelight because you have things like endorsements; you have fans and all these other things that you represent.

Malcolm Jenkins

Donald Trump is a divisive name in a locker room.

Malcolm Jenkins

A lot of guys will talk politics, but usually not about Trump. Those might get a little heated depending on who you're talking to.

Malcolm Jenkins

I have a huge passion for giving back.

I pop in highlight films from high school once in a while because those days were special.

We've got to understand what wins and what loses for us. What's our formula? For us, it might not be flashy. It might be boring football, but it works for us.
