CEASE FIRE SUMMIT 2023

RED ALERT!
How many more victims of violence wil be witnessed before we collectively come together across the nation to sensibly get to the core problems that can bring about the real solutions and stop the gun culture and violence that is heavily promoted throughout America. Let's understand that guns will be around. The constitution states that every person has the right to bear arms. Why? For protection and self defense. The problem is not the gun. The problem is the culture of gun violence that is weaved into the fabric of America. Unfortunately gun violence and violence in general is promoted every where in America. Violence is a much a part of American culture as is apple pie. Keep in mind that America had a violent beginning and that violence is ongoing and trickles down to our youth who are reacting to anger that comes from generational oppressions. It's not just the music. It's movies, gaming, parenting, lack of activities and opportunities for youth, and more.In looking for solutions listen to our youth. Let's hear what they have to say!

​CEASE FIRE SUMMIT© JUNE 16-18, 2023
  • We’re calling on a National Cease Fire across the cities of America!
  • We’re calling on major programs and more productive activities for youth and young adults funded by cities, states, and government and ran by community members where youth are included in the operations.
  • We must change the mentalities and attitudes of our youth, young adults, community members, public officials, legislators and law enforcement. This system is broken and has to change. Lives depend on it!

​Summit includes:
  • Speakers
  • Panel Discussions
  • Youth participation on all levels
  • ​Includes Theme song and rap solutions led and delivered by our youth
  • Presentations by families affected by gun violence on every level
  • Cease Fire parade section
  • Public leaders Moment of acknowledgement. 
  • Proposal of new good legislation that helps build community relationships
  • Elimination of old and bad legislation that hurts community relationships
  • Community Unity action calls and collective works
  • Reparations 

Backed by community organizations, businesses, corporations, celebrities, public officials, school districts and families and completely orchestrated by our youth! 

​We are open to all ideas and suggestions pre summit. We’re calling on everyone to come out and support this summit and its action calls. More information coming soon.
