Thanks to community participation,
positive feedback, and the hard work
o f many volunteers, Hip Hop in the
Park (H H IP) is back to offer
Northeast Portland another FREE
dose o f multimedia performing arts
aimed at raising awareness about
national and local human rights
violations. In order to effectively
strive for social change we must
join forces with our neighbors and
build solid com m unity support
networks. To help to empower and
educate one another as well as
combat the evil stereotypes that
Hip Hop in the Park
divide us. If we really want to put
an end to environmental racism,
institutional racism, m andatory
minimums and police brutality, we
must come together and act as one.
HHIP is the vehicle that will bring
us together. Our willingness to take
the message to our “soul spaces”
and then to our neighborhoods will
be the deciding factor in how
effective we are at achieving social
justice in Northeast Portland.
