The National Million Woman March will host several "Lift Every Voice" Hip-Hop Sessions for Sistahs  beginning in June 2007 (Black Music Month) especially for females (and brothers can of course attend too) who want  to dialog, strategize, and take action to seriously address the issue of exploitation, misogyny, stereotypic, negative depictions and imagery, etc. of women and girls of African descent.

The Hip Hop Sessions for Sistahs,

will provide a  forum for frank and open dialog and provide a on going vehicle to assist in the necessary critiquing and  operational assessments that Black females of all ages, and the community at large, can engage in. Participants will have the opportunity to express their views and consolidate a national plan of action

MWM Position: 

 If an Artist finds it necessary to degrade our Sisters and refer to us in an inappropriate and non-acceptable manner, then we (Black women) find it necessary not to purchase their CD's, tapes, DVD's, tickets to their concerts, etc

 

We invite you to become a member of one of the most unique and innovative organizations in the world, The Universal Federation for the Preservation of Hip Hop Culture, Inc. devoted exclusively to promoting, strengthening and preserving Hip Hop culture throughout the world.

Established in New York City in 2003 as a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, the mission of the Universal Federation for the Preservation of Hip Hop Culture is:  To preserve Hip Hop culture and provide instruction on the ramifications, significance, social history, and placement of Hip Hop culture. 

The Federation is the nation’s first nonprofit organization which includes the actual inventors of Hip Hop music and culture.  Our members include Afrika Bambaataa, GrandMaster Caz, GrandMaster Melle Mel, Lovebug Starski, among others.

Our immediate goal is to create the National Center for the Study and Preservation of Hip Hop Culture.  This multi-million dollar, state of the art Center, will be located in the Bronx—the birthplace of Hip Hop.  The Center will house the archives of the chronological evolution of Hip Hop music through the preservation of documents, artifacts, musical compositions, collections, artist biographical information and other memorabilia.  Simultaneously, an educational program will be developed to serve as an international place of study.

Why Become a Member?

If you believe in and share our mission, if you are seeking an avenue to meet and interact with others who share that mission, if you want to be a part of something bigger than yourself, then join us.
