About Me

Hip Hop Congress is an international not for profit organization that uses the culture and elements of hip hop as a way to keep people involved in their local communities, think globally, allow self expression, and create a network to allow all these things to happen!!I have a website www.hiphopcongress.com that I use as a basis for the network and a communication tool.I really am intertwined into all four elements of Hip Hop culture, as well as politics and education.Currently there are over 25 active chapters of Hip Hop Congress. Most of them are on local campuses, but many are also considered community chapters! If you would like to know more, check my website or contact the PR Chair Aaron Berkowitz at [email protected].
