Delle Donne was a prominent participant in the WNBA's 2020 season dedicated to social justice, which focused on the Black Lives Matter movement and the 'Say Her Name' campaign, movements frequently criticized by MAGA leadership.

Active participation in organized social justice movements that were central points of contention for the MAGA movement indicates a clear ideological divide.
