Hamilton is one of the few drivers to stand up for marginalized communities, support women’s rights, donate handsome lumps of his salary to charitable causes, etc.

The 37-year-old often uses social media platforms to present his views and thoughts. Further, he never shies away from using his fame and distinction to voice and empower many social causes.

This decision will impact the most vulnerable among us. Women, people of colour, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and so on.”

“The following organizations provide resources to protect the people that need it and fight to ensure peoples rights to choose.”
