Founded in 2004, Hip Hop Caucus is a national, non-profit and non-partisan organization that connects the Hip Hop community to the civic process to build power and create positive change. The Hip Hop Caucus emerged from four organizations in 2004: Russell Simmons\u2019 Hip Hop Summit Action Network, P. Diddy\u2019s Citizen Change (\u201cVote Or Die!\u201d), Jay Z\u2019s \u201cVoice Your Choice\u201d, and AFL-CIO\u2019s \u201cHip Hop Voices.\u201d Over the past decade Hip Hop Caucus has become a sustainable organization with grassroots infrastructure in twenty major U.S. cities. We strategically partner with entertainment industry leaders and national and local advocacy organizations, and we have a respected presence in the halls of the U.S. Congress, the White House, many federal agencies, and the United Nations.<\/p>\n
