WHO ARE THE CEASEFIRE ALLSTARS?
presents......................
The CeaseFire Allstars are an extremely talented group of young professionals who believe in the power of Positive Hip Hop, R&B and Rap. This community group of over 100 participants have come together to voice their concerns and strong belief against gun violence. Through the partnership between T.E.E.M. Gateway and Cobblestone Records, youth are able to constructively voice their lyrics, beats and performances into a professionally recorded promotional compilation CD that they have collectively designed, developed and produced.
The project mission is directly connected to the partnership with the Rutgers Police Institute and the Newark Safer Cities Initiative, with the additional goals of:
- Increasing the awareness of the impact that gun violence has created
- Showing the community that young people are equally outraged by gun violence
- Utilizing the emotional and inspirational impact of positive music
- Providing an productive avenue for youth to speak out against gun violence
- Creating a community-based project that can be expanded to all youth who wish to participate
- Distributing the free promotional CD throughout the community, schools and faith-based organizations
This vocational music and education program is designed to engage students 14-21 in interactive hands-on activities that will introduce the participants to the careers and continuing education opportunities that exist in the music, recording, multimedia and entertainment industries.
