Lola Brooke, NBA Star Mikal Bridges & Shameik Moore Team Up With Gaming 4 Peace to End Gun Violence


Lola Brooke and more are teaming up to end gun violence with the Gaming 4 Peace NBA 2K Tournament, which will take place at York College.

With an uptick in gun violence plaguing the New York City area, LIFE CAMP Inc.’s co-founder and hip-hop community activist Erica Ford hopes to remedy the ongoing issues by holding the first annual Gaming 4 Peace NBA 2K Tournament on April 6 and 7 at York College. “Life Camp, in its 20-plus years of impact on the ground, in the communities working to make peace a lifestyle, and fighting the systematic disinvestments that support the longevity of gun violence, whether it be environmental, mental health, mass incarceration, non-economic investment, lack of creative opportunities and extended bureaucracy have always looked to create nontraditional pathways for young people especially of color to be able to exercise within a structure they are familiar and comfortable with. “We look forward to this event and the ongoing efforts to eradicate gun violence and create safe and healthy communities using creative methods.”
