T.I. Getting Kids To Vote
 T.I., who has been heavily involved in the community as of late, is now joining the fight to get kids to register to vote in this year’s presidential election. As part of The Turn Up the Vote National Hip-Hop Summit, T.I. along with Russell Simmons and several others including Flo Rida and Styles P will be at Temple University in Philly on April 20th. The rapper will be there mainly to speak to the youth about their importance of the right to vote and how they should fully exercise it. “I am pleased to have the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia to participate in the Hip-Hop Summit,” T.I. said. “We are going to encourage young people to go out to vote. I personally know the value of having the right to vote and it taken away from you, but I will add my voice to help inspire others to take seriously this right and responsibility.” The event is sponsored by The Hip-Hop Research and Education Fund as well as The Hip Hop Summit Action Network. Both organizations have expressed that they are just as happy as Cliff is to have him on board with the project as seen by this statement "T.I. has supported the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network from the beginning. We are pleased to salute and recognize his leadership and commitment to help others. His presence with us in Philadelphia will greatly enhance our ability to mobilize young voters," said Valeisha Butterfield, Executive Director of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. This is good that more rappers are getting involved and convincing these kids that they have the power with their vote. As mentioned above the event will go down this Sunday at Temple University starting at 1pm.
