Well look at what Snoop Lion has come up with this time! He is partnering up with Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) to stop the violence! 

According to Politico:

"The two are set to appear at a roundtable in Los Angeles on Saturday to discuss the effect of gun violence on society. It is hosted by the League of Young Voters and BET and will also feature rapper T.I. and Executive Director of the League of Young Voters Dr. Rob “Biko” Baker. The NAACP Youth & College Division and Casey Family Programs are also sponsors of the event.

Snoop Lion has been outspoken about gun violence in recent months, including in a song, “No Guns Allowed,” which has become the hashtag (#NoGunsAllowed) for the June 29 event.
In a video promoting the event, Snoop Lion says, “I just felt like it was necessary for me to make a record that spoke to the violence, spoke to me wanting to have a good time tonight with no guns allowed, with no guns permitted so that everybody can go home and enjoy tomorrow.”
