Hip-hop pioneer Russell Simmons wants to continue the discussion on police reform during All Def Digital’s first Town Hall. The event, which is set to take place in Los Angeles on June 23, will honor victims of police brutality such as Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland and Michael Brown.
“Please come and join us in pledging to use our collective social influence to help end any more senseless deaths by reforming and reframing police officers practices, policies, and procedures,” Simmons wrote in an announcement on Facebook.
This isn’t the mogul’s first time issuing a call to action. In 2014, he and Jay Z urged New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to sign an executive order to assign special prosecutors to future cases of police violence.
