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.

people say Obama's words are just words... but... when was the last time "words" weren't important...???...
when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??... when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?... when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?...
and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear...
Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around... terror this... terror that... nuclear here... weapons of mass destruction there...
and those words effected a lot of people's choices...
"enough is enough"... let's rebuild...
let's change ourselves... let's allow positivity to guide us...
let's take action.... let's activate our passion... we are Americans....
and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"...
some say this is all excitement... I call it "proud to be an American"...
some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"... well... if it comes across cult like... then... the cult is called America...
the Obama movement is connecting America.
and it has made "US" realize our importance... the youth is excited and activated... adults are passionate a
