Dear roger,

Silence The Violence and NewVoices Media have partnered up to host the world premiere of the documentary film GRIND & GLORY: From the Streets to the Stage. The screening will be held at the Grand Lake Theater on Wednesday, November 7th -- doors open at 6pm and the show starts at 7pm. We hope you can join us for this exciting event!

Deeply inspiring, Grind & Glory highlights young rappers who use their talent and music to express the issues they face in their lives and in their communities, and to spread a message of peace through their music. A few of our very own Silence The Violence Block Ambassadors are featured in the film! Don't miss this powerful event -- it's a great opportunity to support young artists and Silence The Violence.

Tickets are $3 for folks under 21, and $5 for 21 and up.  Since there is a limited number of tickets, RSVP on this page:

Please mark your calendars and plan on joining us for the premier next month! Be on the lookout for more information in the coming weeks.

And, as always, thank you for your commitment to our Silence the Violence campaign.
