Colin Kaepernick changes stance on voting, says Zohran Mamdani 'inspires' him

Colin Kaepernick stated in his memoir that he now views his 2016 decision not to vote as irresponsible. Kaepernick has previously been known for his activism, including kneeling during the national anthem starting in 2016 to protest police brutality. In the memoir, Kaepernick named New York State Senator Zohran Mamdani as among the politicians who inspire him. Mamdani, a Democrat first elected to the state senate in 2022, has served in the New York legislature since that time.
