Hip Hop Congress

The Hip Hop Congress (HHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses hip-hop culture to foster social action, civic service, and cultural creativity among young people.  HHC's Politics Initiative marks a transition from HHC's primary status as a music and cultural organization to a network with an articulated human rights and social justice movement-building focus.  Rooted in a belief in the powerful potential of the hip-hop movement, the Politics Initiative seeks to build on this history to develop organizing skills and a civic-engagement focus among hip-hop artists and community members.
