“Hip hop has always been about ending poverty in America, about fully funding our public schools. It’s always been about justice reform and police reform,” the lawmaker said. “It’s always been about affordable housing and dealing with the issue of threats of violence.”
“Hip-hop has ingrained itself in our culture and continuously called upon us to fight for civil and racial justice,” Bowman said. “Hip-hop is why I support the movement for reparations, an end to discrimination and corporate greed in the housing industry, and access to healthcare and economic opportunity for everyone. That is why I am proud to stand with my colleagues in bringing the advocacy and ideology of Hip-Hop to Congress at this moment and continue our urgent calls for peace and justice across the world.”
Our goal with this Hip Hop Task Force is to bridge the gap between Hip Hop culture and the work we do here in Congress so that everyone who calls this culture home has a seat at the table. pic.twitter.com/YoeesjY98E
