YO SOS: 99 Problems
YO S.O.S. Media Arts Campaign Showcase, featuring Urban Art Beat and Theatre of the Oppressed NYC
Youth Organizing to Save Our Streets (YO S.O.S.) gathers high school youth who want to reduce gun violence and promote community healing and youth power. Together, YO S.O.S. creates campaigns, presentations, and events to spread the message of anti-violence to our peers and the broader community. This spring, Youth Organizers collaborated with teaching artists from Theatre of the Oppressed NYC and Urban Art Beat to create a Media Arts Campaign. Join us as we debut an interactive theatre show, titled "99 Problems" and a hip-hip song and video produced by the Youth Organizers.
Can we, stick together
And put the guns down
Pick up the love
And spread it around
Stand by eachother
And Hold one another down
