About this event

We are excited to invite you to join us for Liberation Summer – a celebratory and action-packed series of events, organized in partnership with our awesome Advisory Board Member, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, Ana Tijoux. 

**Sign up here to get details on tickets and details about other Liberation Summer events as they are organized. **Liberation Summer is a series of concerts, gatherings, workshops and activities commemorating 50 years of Hip Hop and challenging neoliberalism – all designed to build relationships and spark action for racial, economic, and political equality.

We will celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop and fighting injustice with music and culture that gave voice and politicized youth around the world. We will celebrate artists whose beats set the rhythm of our movement and whose words spoke the poetry of the struggle for social justice. We will celebrate the history of resistance to the neoliberal policies first enacted in Chile just as the sounds of a new musical language were emerging in The Bronx. We will celebrate our collective power.

We hope you will join us over the next several months for Liberation Summer!
