The purpose is to bring together youth, community leaders, artists, athletes and entertainers to focus on solutions and alternatives to violence.

It will also air as a special two-part TV special on FOX 5 on Saturday, August 6th & 13th at 10:30pm ET. Lisa Evers says, “Use your mind; it’s your best weapon. I hope it’s your only weapon. Let’s push 4 peace!”
Push 4 Peace was created in 2011 in Newark, New Jersey with Lisa
and her “Street Soldiers” team, and then Mayor Cory Booker, to promote alternatives to violence and gang involvement.
