Snoop Dogg — rapper, actor, sipper of gin and juice — can now add activist against gun violence to his résumé.

He's part of the new #ImUnloading campaign, which urges investors to work with their financial advisers to ensure their 401(k)s do not have any gun-related stocks. In a video, Snoop Dogg said he's been affected by gun violence "through the deaths of friends and family members and associates. I'm unloading for the loved ones I lost."
