Fight for, not Agianst
Just thought this is a something you should know about. While it is not directly linked to hip hop, colorofchange.org are doing some big things and bringing attention to an array of injustices that tend to go unnoticed. You can definitely say this is a product of the Public Enemy side of the hip hop generation. Just look at their collaboration with Nas for the “Fight against fox News” campaign.
My one point is this. They should state what they are for not what they are against. The “Fight against Fox News” should be the “Fight for Balanced News.” Their recent campaign I can get behind “Justice for Lavena Johnson.” I support the Fox News campaign but you get more of what you focus on. If you fight against Fox News you more Fox News. If you fight for justice you get more justice. It is more empowering to fight what you want than to fight against something you do not desire.
With that being said I advice you to visit colorofchange.org and find a campaign that you can support. The two featured on their website are good places to start.
One,
