An anti-incarceration activist group is demanding the National Basketball Association make Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores step down from the league’s board and give up the franchise, claiming his private equity company profits off a prison industry that deliberately exploits people of color.
The call comes from a nonprofit advocacy organization called Worth Rises, which according to its website, envisions “a society in which no entity or individual relies on human caging or control for their wealth, operation, or livelihood.”
