On July 17, rappers The Game and Snoop Dogg organized a summit with L.A.-area gang members and city officials to discuss ways to stem the growing violence within the gang community.
The Game used his social media accounts to invite members of the Crips, the Bloods and other street gangs to gather at a community center for an open discussion. The organizers called the event “Time To Unite: United Hoods + Gangs Nation.”
In an Instagram post, The Game explained the importance of the event, saying, “Because the sad truth that no one wants to face is, before we can get our lives to matter to anyone else… We have to show that our lives matter to us.”
