Rapper Snoop Dogg has joined a
campaign group that is trying to put an end to gun violence in the US.
The 41-year-old is supporting
Texas based League of Young Voters Education Fund's No Guns Allowed movement,
which was inspired by his song that he made after shooting rampages across the
US.
"No Guns Allowed is a
really important song to me. I'm humbled that an organisation like the League
of Young Voters Education Fund supports what I'm saying in it and is taking
action. Especially since they have been doing work for a long time to spread an
anti-violence message in our communities," contactmusic.com quoted him as
saying.
The campaign will involve
anti-violence rallies and the launch of a petition supporting a proposal for
background checks on anyone buying weapons.
The group's Executive Director
Rob 'Biko' Baker said: "The League is excited and honoured by Snoop's
support. We're looking forward to collaborating with him in the near future to
reach even more people and bring some much-needed attention to the work we've
been doing for some time to make urban communities safer." (Source)
