HIP HOP POLITICAL EDUCATION SUMMIT

Though I haven't watched all the Summit the bit I watched was very informative and relevant . Senator Cory Booker stated that as a Mayor he battled with Republican senators to get basic resources and funding for locals schools ."There is so much at stake in just a ballot!"

You can watch the recorded Summit here.

The summit organizers stated in the invitation emailed to me,

"Dear Ariane, Our goal is to inform members of the hip-hop community like yourself about the urgency of threats to our right to vote, as well as the larger and growing threats to our democracy. "

I was sad to re-hear of terrible episodes of violence & racial suppression taking place today. Last week I watched a few videos on twitter & tagged the Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.

Have you watched the Summit, what was your favourite speaker? My favourite speaker is Latosha Brown!

Best wishes,

Ariane
