Peace, My name is TC and I'm with the Hip Hop Caucus National office. I've also been a community activist in Greensboro, NC for over 20yrs. Some would ask why is the hip hop community involved in the discussion of fracking. Hip Hop is the new voice of the young/young adult, and we're using this platform to inform them of the dangers of fracking to community/environment. We want to use our voice to expose the dangers of fracking to our environment. Fracking endangers our air, land, and water. We at the Hip Hop Caucus see climate change as our "Lunch Counter Moment". We're not just fighting for Civil Rights but for our very existence. We can not allow our voices to be silent when our lives are at stake. We must let go of fossil fuels and invest in clean energy in order to not hurt the planet and ourselves. Hip Hop is the music of resistance all over the world. So let the music play for the stopping of FRACKING
