Warriors players join Juan Toscano-Anderson's Oakland protest Saturday

Warriors forward Juan Toscano-Anderson is on a mission.

The Oakland native is organizing peaceful "Black Lives Matter" protests in an effort to unite the Bay Area community against racial injustices.

On Saturday, Toscano-Anderson's second "Walking in Unity" march took place in Oakland, and several of his Warriors teammates showed up alongside him.

Warriors guard Damion Lee and center Marquese Chriss joined Toscano-Anderson on the march from the Frank H. Ogawa Plaza to the Lake Merritt Amphitheater.

Elsewhere in the Bay Area, Steph and Ayesha Curry were in attendance at the "Black Lives Matter" march in Palo Alto, and they brought their daughter, Riley.

Earlier this week, Curry and teammate Klay Thompson took part in Toscano-Anderson's first march in Oakland, and their attendance meant a lot to the young Warrior.

“It meant a lot just because I know someone in my work profession has my back,” Toscano-Anderson said told NBC Sports Bay Area's Logan Murdock. “I know it’s tough when you're in a position like Steph’s, I don’t want to say it’s hard but it's a thin line you have to watch where you walk. It definitely made me feel good to see somebody of his caliber and his notoriety here.
