“The powerful want us to believe that our problems are all so different, as if struggling to pay your rent or struggling to pay your mortgage doesn’t put you in the same boat,” said Mayor Ras J. Baraka. “I’m tired of hearing folks say that is a city problem, or that is a suburban problem in New Jersey. We are the most densely populated state in the nation, affordable housing is our problem, safe neighborhoods and good schools are our goals, public transportation is a regional issue and climate change certainly has no borders. This isn’t a house party tour of just Essex and Hudson counties, it’s Somerset and Monmouth and Atlantic and every other county in this state because New Jerseyans are struggling under the weight of our artificial divides and we need a leader who’s willing to pull them down.”
The “Rollin’ with Ras Block Party Tour 2024” is not just a campaign tour; it is a celebration of community, unity, and the power of grassroots engagement. Mayor Baraka will be hosted by folks and families across the state, creating opportunities for residents to come together, voice their opinions, and hear firsthand about his plans to move New Jersey forward.
The tour will kick off tonight in Somerville, Somerset.
Baraka, the renowned hip-hop artist and activist, has announced the launch of his highly anticipated ‘Rollin’ with Ras Block Party Tour 2024′ in New Jersey. The tour, which is set to kick off in Newark, will feature a series of block parties and community events aimed at promoting unity, empowerment, and positive change in underserved communities.
Baraka, who is known for his socially conscious lyrics and powerful stage presence, has long been a champion for social justice and community empowerment. Through his music and activism, he has sought to inspire and uplift marginalized communities, using his platform to shed light on issues such as police brutality, systemic racism, and economic inequality.
The ‘Rollin’ with Ras Block Party Tour 2024′ is a continuation of Baraka’s commitment to using his art and influence to create positive change in the world. The tour will feature performances by Baraka himself, as well as special guest appearances by other artists and activists who share his vision for a more just and equitable society.
In addition to the musical performances, the block parties will also include community resource booths, voter registration drives, and opportunities for local residents to connect with organizations and initiatives working to address issues such as education, healthcare, and housing insecurity.
Baraka’s decision to launch the tour in New Jersey is significant, as the state has a long history of social activism and community organizing. By bringing his message of unity and empowerment to cities like Newark, Camden, and Trenton, Baraka hopes to inspire a new generation of activists and change-makers to continue the fight for justice and equality.
As the tour gains momentum and travels across the state, Baraka’s message of hope and resilience is sure to resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Through music, art, and community engagement, Baraka is proving that positive change is possible when people come together to support one another and work towards a common goal.
