Event Description
Michael "O.G-L.A.W." Ta'Bon stays in an outdoor makeshift (heated) jail cell 24/7 & speaks to youths to deter them from prison and anything that would lead to premature death by showing them the outcome of not getting proper education and poor decision making. However, over 25 schools in Philadelphia are closing to approx. 17,000 school aged children by the end of June 2013 school year, 75% of school budgets have been cut and over $685 million is being allocated to renovate older jail institutions and to build brand new prisons. As the Founder of G-L.A.W. Foundation, these are the facts addressed as we need other organizations, supporters, community leaders and parents to see that our tax dollars are being wasted and the catastrophic conclusion of advance preparation for imprisonment of our children is not the answer and must be stopped. He is willing to share the realities from his own life experiences and place them into perspective for at risk youth but he needs others to step up with him in solidarity in order to redefine the real issue, “Education Over Incarceration”. Bring all who have been incarcerated or heading towards that path. All are welcomed. There will also be nightly open mics, “Jail Is 4 Suckaz’” clothing, promotion for the new book release of, “The Prison Lettaz’ of O.G-L.A.W.”, food, entertainment and more. Check out “Education Over Incarceration” video with his 4-yr old son, Youngest Rapper Alive, Lowercase G-L.A.W. http://youtu.be/S4E91608vIw It’s a reality eye opener that only God’s Love At Work can change. G-L.A.W. Donations are welcomed. |
