Clear Channel Communities, the community engagement brand of Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, and Power 99 FM, Philadelphia’s Hip Hop and R&B radio station, has announced the dates for its annual Peace on the Street Jams, a series of antiviolence activities designed to promote peace and provide communities with the necessary resources to prevent violence. The first of the 2014 summer series will be held on Thursday, June 26 from 3 – 8 p.m. at Great Plaza at Penns Landing in Philadelphia, and will feature artists Ca$h Out, Mack Wilds, Anthony Lewis, and MPrynt.
