Grammy winner and multi-platinum artist T.I. will utilize his non-profit K.I.N.G. foundation to hold an anti-gun and violence rally in Harlem, NY. Assisting the Atlanta native’s endeavor are Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, the LIFE Camp, and the Political Swagger Foundation. Announced as “Responsibility is a Lifestyle: it’s Time to Bury Da Beef,” the involved groups plan to initiate a “call to action to engage elected officials, community organizers, artists, and every American citizen to build safer communities.” The pertinent declaration from these organizations came after statistics from the Center for Disease Control revealed that 16 youths (aged 10-24) are killed daily from gun-related violence. The rally/press conference will take place on Monday May 11 at the National Action Network building in New York.
