"Love all" in tennis means zero-zero, but it also means equality. No player trails from behind and no one leads the game score. The Courts, a tennis center in the heart of the Californian desert is rallying for equality and love for all.

In an Instagram post, The Courts announced: "In order to keep rallying for equality and justice, we are adding these items to our web store. They will always be in stock and every penny will be donated to an organization dedicated to achieving policy and cultural victories."

The intimate tennis club is joining the fight for equality and is in it to win it. "Love All" hats are now being sold on The Courts website, with all proceeds going directly to the Movement for Black Lives. The organization has created a political home for people of color to learn, organize, take action and invest in black communities.

"Big picture, we will continue to be an inclusive space with the belief that tennis, nature, and art should be available to everyone," The Courts owners Leah Goren and Adil Dara said.

Goren and Dara took over what was initially a normal tennis facility and transformed the four-court club into a desert gem. The couple has always put an emphasis on creating a welcoming space that focuses on community and the social aspect of tennis. As an individual sport, tennis can often feel lonely and isolated. The Courts is hoping to change that narrative.

Besides selling the vintage-styled green and white hats towards achieving policy and cultural victories, The Courts is also working on constructing community and youth-oriented programs, as well as addressing the issues of racism that exist in tennis.

The world of tennis and beyond have made substantial steps towards equality and justice, but the match against hate and inequality has yet to be won. Whether on the court or off, the notion of "love all" is the goal.
