Philadelphia DA Lynne Abraham Join Paul “Earthquake” Moore at the 8th Annual Skating Party and Motorcycle Ride for Peace
Southwest Philadelphia activist, Paul “Earthquake” Moore, has once again teamed with top dignitaries in Pennsylvania and the surrounding regions to promote a weekend of peace and unity in honor of slain police officers, especially Philadelphia Police and Officers a round the STATE,S killed in the line of duty
The 8th Annual Weekend of Peace and Unity Skating Party and Motorcycle Ride for Peace, begins May 15 , 2009, at the Elmwood Skating Rink, 71st Street and Elmwood Avenue where skaters are invited from 5-7:30 p.m.
The Motorcycle Ride for Peace, begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 16, 2007 at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. Riders, including Abraham, and Rendell who is scheduled to help kick off the ride, will line up and motorcycle North on Broad Street to Cheltenham Avenue. Once there, bikers will turn around and motorcade back to the stadium area. A reception will follow the ride at the State Burners’ Motorcycle Club House, on Woodland Avenue, near 52nd Street in Southwest Philadelphia.
The skating party is designed for kids and parents to spend quality time together. Children from all over Philadelphia and the surrounding areas are expected to participate. There is a $6 donation to enter the rink, but for less fortunate kids, entrance if free.
A wreath will be on display as well as the urn of an unidentified youth shot in a senseless act of violence. Moore hopes that these bold reminders will make children and young adults see what can happen to them if they choose to behave violently.
“This wreath and urn will symbolize racial harmony and peace among all of us,” said Moore. “But I want children and young adults to see that this is what can happen to you. This is how you can end up. So parents, it’s time to take control of your children, be accountable, take responsibility, and be the parent you’re supposed to be.”
The motorcycle ride is the eighth for Abraham, who will make the trip on the back of a motorcycle of a member of the State Burners Motorcycle Club, whose riders will escort her and join other motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts in the tri-state area. Moore said Abraham is always willing to lend a hand to promote any of his activities that helps curb violence in Philadelphia. However the entire weekend is a tribute to slain Philadelphia police officers and their families. Their deaths and those of other Philadelphia citizens, are grim reminders to all Philadelphians who want gun violence to end.

In an effort to promote peace in our neighborhoods, and to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Paul “Earthquake” Moore has organized a youth basketball game, community clean up and a historical reenactment march starting at 66th and Woodland Avenue. We will walk woodland to New Fellowship Baptist Church.
The clean up Monday will be held in the area surrounding the New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, 70th Street and Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. Volunteers should meet at 10 a.m. in front of the church. The game starts later in the day at 1 p.m. at the Urban Neighborhood Renewal Service Gymnasium, located behind the church.
Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers, Philadelphia personalities and others in hosting the basketball game on the Rev. Dr. King’s birthday. Just as King was considered a drum major for peace, Moore said he hopes the game will unify young people in his Philadelphia community and encourage peace that will spread across Philadelphia and beyond its borders.
“This basketball game promotes peace by bringing together the communities,” said Moore, the well-known Philadelphia activist. “It is my desire to keep alive the ideals and dream of Dr. King and break down racial barriers that divide people not only in Philadelphia and throughout our country.”
A short program will be held prior to the game. The contest is free and the community is encouraged and welcome to attend this historical reenactment march at 5 p.m.
