An interesting article from the Troy (NY) Record about unions and hip hop.

The Capital District Labor Foundation decided to help put the

event together after a group of young organizers approached members and spoke of

the need to mobilize younger people and suggested using hip-hop as a tool to get

their attention, said outreach coordinator Prairie Wells of Albany."Both

movements are rooted in collective action, in speaking the truth no matter what

the cost. Both movements have lost leaders to violence, to people trying to

silence us," Wells said, describing society-wide change and inclusionism as

other positive aspects of the movements.
