&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Common Ground Foundation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was created by Hip Hop legend, actor and children’s author Lonnie Rashid Lynn, known as “Common,” to serve as an inspiration for equality, opportunity and hope among youth in underserved communities. The Foundation is committed to empowering youth in urban neighborhoods and providing life skills needed to achieve their dreams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;On Tuesday, August 12 at 7:11 p.m., the Chicago White Sox will play the Kansas City Royals at U.S. Cellular Field. A portion of every ticket purchased on behalf of the organization via the&amp;nbsp;below link will go toward the Common Ground Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please see link for ticket information. &lt;b&gt;Tickets must be purchased by July 14th with a Common Ground Foundation flyer; please use attached flyer.&lt;/b&gt; For more information about ordering tickets call the White Sox at 312-674-5304.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We look forward to seeing you on the South Side on August 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; for a night of baseball in support of a tremendous cause! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class="url"&gt;&amp;raquo; &lt;a href="http://www.commongroundfoundation.org/Bookclub%20images/08CommonGroundFoundationflyerpdf.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"&gt;www.commongroundfoundation.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.geffen.com/~r/common/content/~4/299351454" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;img src="http://www.common-music.com/images/local/300/b3f89e06-12a8-4a8b-bbea-01d4ef882f80.jpg" alt="Common Launches “THE CORNER” through the Common Ground Foundation" class="fullsize"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;June 3, 2008 (San Francisco, CA) In an effort to encourage and inspire youth to read, the Common Ground Foundation has launched &lt;i&gt;The Corner&lt;/i&gt;, a national online book club. This interactive platform provides youth across the country with an opportunity to discuss current reading selections, and fosters the development of critical thinking skills. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Corner, &lt;/i&gt;provides an interactive way for students, ages 13-18, to learn about and discuss relevant reading materials. Our team works with a list of recommended books that convey messages of tolerance, compassion and non-violent expressions of achieving social justice. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Teens are able to follow along with the recommended book of the month, blog with other members about relevant topics and have the opportunity to participate in a live online chat with Common Ground Foundation staff. Celebrity artists will also be interviewed each month and talk about their favorite books and why reading is so important to them. Each year the Foundation will sponsor a national "Common Ground Challenge" for our book club members. Winners will have an opportunity to meet Common and their essay will be posted on The Common Ground Foundation website. The Foundation is also committed to provide a college scholarship as the first prize award. Through exposure and participation in educational endeavors, The Common Ground Foundation creates a positive atmosphere for learning and understanding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Common has been selected for the &lt;a href="http://www.alastore.ala.org/SiteSolution.taf?_sn=catalog&amp;amp;_pn=product_detail&amp;amp;_op=2499"&gt;American Library Association (ALA)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;READ Campaign poster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;MISSION&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt; STATEMENT: &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Common Ground Foundation is dedicated to the empowerment and development of urban youth in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;VISION STATEMENT:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Common Ground Foundation was created by Hip Hop artist, actor and children’s author Lonnie Rashid Lynn, known as “Common”. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Common’s social-conscience message is the cornerstone of the Foundation’s vision and serves as an inspiration for equality, opportunity and hope among youth in underserved communities. The Foundation is committed to empowering youth in urban neighborhoods and providing life skills needed to achieve their dreams.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Common has received a nomination for a 2008 NAACP Image Award for&amp;nbsp;the Recording Category of Outstanding Male Artist.&amp;nbsp; The 39th NAACP Image Awards will air live on Thursday, February 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;This is the third year in a row Common has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NAACP Image Awards honors projects and individuals that promote diversity in the arts in television, recording, literature and motion pictures. The theme of this year’s show is “Stand Up and Be Counted.” During this crucial election year, the NAACP encourages everyone to be socially conscious and take a stand on critical human and civil rights issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Additionally, in recognition that today’s environmental crisis will become tomorrow’s civil rights issues, this year the NAACP is incorporating eco-friendly initiatives to reduce the Image Award’s carbon footprint and reduce the ceremonies impact on the world’s climate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founded in 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its half-million adult and youth members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities and monitor equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The multi-talented Common desires to make a difference in the lives of others, especially youth.&amp;nbsp; One of his most joyful accomplishments is the three books&amp;nbsp;he has written inspired by his daughter, one of which, “I Like You, But I Love Me,” was recently nominated for a NAACP Image Award. His first book, “The Mirror and Me,” teaches lessons of life, the human spirit and human nature and his third book, “M.E. (Mixed Emotions&lt;i&gt;),”&lt;/i&gt; is due for release later this year.&amp;nbsp; He also started the Common Ground Foundation, an organization dedicated to the empowerment and development of urban youth in the United States through education. Additionally,&amp;nbsp;its support and focus on AIDS/HIV prevention programs targeted toward youth and young adults reach beyond our national borders and serve communities throughout Africa.&amp;nbsp; His most recent album &lt;i&gt;Finding Forever&lt;/i&gt; won the BET Hip-Hop Award for CD of the Year. Look for him on the silver screen in &lt;i&gt;Wanted&lt;/i&gt; with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman this spring. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through an exclusive partnership with Lincoln, Common will appear in national television broadcast, radio and print advertisements, primarily focused on the all-new 2008 Lincoln Navigator. The first of the ads, titled “Common,” will debut nationwide November 25 during NFL Sunday Night Football on NBC, and later appear on general market and urban schedules. The commercial spotlights the people, places and experiences that shaped his life in his hometown of Chicago. It segues to his present-day life as an enterprising, multitalented individual, continuing to reach higher, yet still deeply rooted in his community. His understated confidence, authenticity, and distinctive sense of style echoes the personality of the Lincoln Navigator. The print and radio ads will premiere in 2008. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lincoln will additionally work with Common in developing other online and offline cross-promotional and marketing programs across his diversified businesses, including the licensing of songs for creative executions for television and the Web, tie-ins with Common’s books and hat lines, as well as alignments with his concert tour. Common will also perform and make personal appearances on behalf of Lincoln at auto shows and dealer events, and be an integral component of the annual multiple-city Lincoln Lounge events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lincoln also plans to align itself with Common’s nonprofit organization, the Common Ground Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.geffen.com/~r/common/content/~4/192114403" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

To view the video, go to: &lt;a href="http://www.votehope2008.org/" target="_new"&gt;http://www.votehope2008.org&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1dc6KcGeQw" target="_new"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1dc6KcGeQw&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first 60-second PSA features hip hop artist and actor Common who takes his "get-out-the-vote" message straight to the people via video-sharing web sites like YouTube, MySpace and FaceBook. "I'm voting for Obama because he's just there to do some good in the world", said Common in the video. Viewers are encouraged to "Bank it for Barack" by pledging to vote on the VoteHope2008.org web site. Viewers are also encouraged to leave their own online video response stating why they're voting for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vote Hope's goal is to get hundreds of thousands of early votes pledged and banked for Obama, leading into the California primary on Feb. 5, 2008.&amp;nbsp; "Increasing voter turnout among young people and communities of color in California will be critical to Obama's success," said Vote Hope founder Steve Phillips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Vote Hope&lt;br /&gt;Vote Hope is a new statewide political network championing democracy and justice in California. Our purpose and mission is to increase voter turnout in California among young people and people of color, who are grossly underrepresented in the current state electorate. Vote Hope increases civic engagement by supporting candidates at all levels of government who share our vision for change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vote Hope is made up of activists representing multiple generations of Californians committed to increasing public response to issues of poverty, race, education, and immigrant rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, visit &lt;a href="http://www.votehope2008.org/" target="_new"&gt;http://www.votehope2008.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, contact:&lt;br /&gt;Carla Sims, 202-360-9959 or email &lt;a href="mailto:carlasims@verizon.net"&gt;carlasims@verizon.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leah King, 703-732-6517 or email &lt;a href="mailto:leahKing@gmail.com"&gt;leahKing@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class="url"&gt;&amp;raquo; &lt;a href="http://www.votehope2008.org" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"&gt;www.votehope2008.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.geffen.com/~r/common/content/~4/192114409" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

The foundation will be overseen by Executive Director Jodie Blum, and is dedicated to the empowerment and development of urban youth through education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common, whose socially conscious music serves as inspiration for equality, opportunity and hope among youth in underserved communities, states, "I always believed that if we started with the youth then we would be planting the seeds for our future to blossom." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, The Common Ground Foundation supports and focuses on AIDS/HIV prevention programs targeted towards youth and young adults, reaching beyond our national borders to serve communities throughout Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Common:&lt;br /&gt;The Grammy Award winning artist just released his critically acclaimed seventh album FINDING FOREVER, which debut at #1 on Billboard 200 Album Chart. Additionally, he made his acting debut earlier in the year co-starring opposite Jeremy Piven, Ben Affleck, and Ryan Reynolds in "SMOKIN' ACES" for Universal Pictures. In November 2007, he'll co-star opposite Denzel Washington in "AMERICAN GANGSTER", Directed by Ridley Scott. He recently wrapped filming on "WANTED" with co-stars Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie and David Ayer's "THE NIGHT WATCHMAN" starring Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, Common has written children's books. The first one, entitled The MIRROR and ME, teaches lessons of life, the human spirit, and human nature. His follow-up book, I Like You But I Love Me, was recently nominated for an NAACP Image Award, and his third book, M.E. (Mixed Emotions), will be out later this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Jodie Blum:&lt;br /&gt;Executive Director Jodie Blum will direct the Foundation's national and global programs. Blum joins the team with over 12 years of experience and leadership in the event production industry, specializing in non-profit consulting and fundraising.
