Hiphopforchange Hop for Change

Hip Hop education: our education has reached over 25,000 k-12 youth by using Hip Hop culture as a vehicle to empower our communities through its expression. We partner with state and local agencies, such as the city of oakland and the California arts council, to implement programs to secure platforms within our community to revive arts education in underserved bay area districts.

Social justice events: our social justice events are supported by community funds and sponsorships to allow free and accessible experiences for all. These events are centered around the most pressing social justice issues that our communities face. In addition to serving as community spaces for creative expression and healing, these events disrupt the current models of consumer capitalism that inhibit Hip Hop from shining at its best.

Grassroots program: we've employed 1000+ people from all walks of life, providing them with livable wages and professional job training. Our grassroots team works to bridge the gaps between affluent and disparate communities by educating the public on issues of race, social justice, and the cooptation of Hip Hop.
