The purpose of this orientation is to unify and empower all vested and foundational groups, organizations, and individuals within Eastern Washington, and to create a strong network and alliance within the collective community in the Northwest.

We will speak upon our goals, projects, programs and how our organization has been able to help mobilize young people around the globe. Additionally, we want to have an open forum to find out how the Universal Zulu Nation may be able to help serve your community.
We are reaching out to the many areas within Washington State who share an interest in preserving and elevating Hip Hop culture, unifying the scene, as well as working within the community, especially young people to bring forth positive change. We are reaching out to young people, elders, Hip Hop fans and practicioners, deejays, emcees, b-boys and b-girls, graffiti artists, producers, educators, students, media, activists, healers, doctors, lawers, writers, journalists, organizers and other organizations, and any like-minded individuals who are concerned about our community and would like to be a part of one of the fastest growing and longest lasting Hip Hop organization since its inception.
