Hip Hop Occupies to Decolonize presents Rise & Decolonize II, in solidarity with International Worker’s Day and the Global General Strike. We are inviting artists, youth, families, and the broader Seattle community to save the date and join us at Westlake Park from 9am-4pm for a day of music, live art, dance, cypher sessions, and more in the spirit of Hip Hop and creative resistance, as well as in remembrance of Trayvon Marvin, Rekia Boyd, Shaima Alawai, Rhamarley Graham, Kenneth Camberlin Sr., Wendell Allen, John T. Williams, and all those whose lives were lost to systemic and internalized white supremecy.

Schedule:

9am-11am Breakfast & General Assembly

11am-4pm Performances, speakers, & rally

Just like Hip Hop transcends borders in movement and motion, we as people decolonize our bodies, minds, hearts, and communities.

The whole world is watching, another world is possible!
