Russell Simmons will host the first All Def Digital’s first Town Hall meeting addressing police reform at The Montalban in Los Angeles on June 23 at 7 p.m. PST.
“We created this event to honor the lives of Rekia Boyd, Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Ayana Stanley-Jones, Mike Brown and anyone else that has been killed or victimized by excessive police force,” reads a Facebook post penned by Simmons.
Those desiring to attend the event must RSVP.
This isn’t the first time Rush has taken on a social issue.
In 2014, Jay Z and Simmons met with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to address the same subject, requesting a special prosecutor be assigned to cases dealing with police brutality.
