About me: Kenyatta Johnson, a native of the Point Breeze section of South Philadelphia, represents the change he wants to create in the community. He has transformed his life from a youth headed down the wrong path, to a well-educated community activist on a mission to improve the quality of life for the citizens of South and Southwest Philadelphia. Through his progressive leadership, and experience working for the office of State Senator Anthony Hardy Williams, Kenyatta seeks to empower these neighborhoods by developing a comprehensive plan to improve their economic, educational and social conditions.
Over the past 10 years, Kenyatta’s organization “Peace Not Guns” has touched the lives of over 1500 children, teaching them how to successfully resolve conflicts without resorting to violence. He has given over 500 community service hours to first time gun offenders, offering them an opportunity to change the direction of their lives.
Dixon House, South Philadelphia Homes, Barrett Educational Center, Childs Elementary School, and the Point Breeze Youth Development Basketball League are a few organizations that have partnered with Peace Not Guns as a means to maximize on progress being made in these neighborhoods.
Kenyatta Johnson recognizes the importance of ensuring that residents have safer neighborhoods, access to employment, quality education and homeownership opportunities. This is why he is committed to new ideas, new leadership and reforming traditional politics to be more responsible and inclusive of all people.

I just saw on the news that over 100 Philadelphians have been killed in our city this year. That's almost twice as many who were killed in Baghdad this year.
As a citizen, I want to thank you for "being on the front line" fighting against these tragedies.
Congrats on your victory. Keep up the good work! :-)
