About Hip Hop Caucus
Initiated as a movement in 2004, the Hip Hop Caucus (HHC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that leverages Hip Hop culture to encourage young people to participate in the democratic process.
Our mission is to use the power of our cultural expression to empower communities who are first and worst impacted by injustice. Our members, as well as our dedicated national team, span the country and globe. We are multiracial and we center our work in BIPOC communities. We span Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X, and we come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Our vision is for racial justice, healthy communities, and a healthy planet.
Our award-winning Respect My Vote! campaign has educated and mobilized hundreds of thousands of young BIPOC voters across eleven election cycles. We also have innovated a free resource for people with a felony record and their loved ones to check their eligibility to vote based on their state.
Our Think 100% platform, focuses on climate and environmental justice activism and storytelling. This award-winning platform has produced and released original content including, “The Coolest Show” podcast, a weekly radio show, four documentary films, a stand up comedy special, the first-ever climate album, live virtual events with hundreds of thousands in attendance, and numerous digital content pieces and series. This storytelling and narrative work supports our campaigns and advocacy work on climate that has successfully stopped fossil fuel infrastructure projects in BIPOC communities and achieved historic climate investments through federal and state advocacy.
