The Los Angeles Rams are dedicated to becoming the greatest community partner in Los Angeles and highlighting leaders that are advocating for justice, addressing disparities, and inspiring change. In honor of this commitment and in memory of Kenny Washington (#13), the Rams launched the pLAymakers program to recognize 13 Angelenos annually who are committed to moving our city forward. Continuing the legacy of groundbreakers like Kenny and Woody Strode, each pLAymaker is defined by core values those men exemplified, including perseverance in the face of adversity, dedication to their goals and the Los Angeles community, fortitude through breaking barriers, and inspiring others around them to make a difference.
