Ludacris to throw out first pitch before Braves game Wednesday

Atlanta rapper will team up with Braves to promote voter registration

Ludacris will be the latest celebrity to join the Braves in a promotional partnership this season

ATLANTA — Atlanta rapper Ludacris will throw out the first pitch before the Braves game against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park as part of the team’s “Get Out the Vote” initiative.

Ludacris joins a star-studded group of celebrities who have teamed up with the Braves this season to promote voter registration, including Will Smith, Spike Lee and Martin Luther King III.

The Braves have partnered with the Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda and the New Georgia Project to promote voter registration and encourage fans to cast their ballots in the upcoming November elections.

Ludacris has been a vocal advocate for voting rights and has used his platform to encourage his fans to register to vote and make their voices heard.

The Braves are hoping that Ludacris's involvement in the campaign will help to raise awareness about the importance of voting and encourage more people to register to vote.

The Braves are one of several teams across the country that have partnered with organizations to promote voter registration. The NBA and WNBA have also launched initiatives to encourage their fans to vote.

The Braves' "Get Out the Vote" initiative is part of the team's broader commitment to social justice and community involvement. The team has also launched a number of other initiatives to address issues such as education, poverty and racial inequality.
