Nef the Pharaoh live in Oakland
On May 27, 2017, HipHopForChange will be holding a FREE for all ages event with Immortal Technique! Hip Hop For Change is throwing its 2nd Annual Environmental Equity Summit with Greenpeace and the Sierra Club featuring Immortal Technique. This is an arts and environmental advocacy event that provides a platform for dialogue between people of color (POC) and large environmental NGOs to discuss the environmental needs of POC, and grassroots POC environmentalist groups.
The environmental movement has a long history of elitism and racism. The Green 2.0 campaign released a study in 2015 showing that POC make less than 17% of the 300 environmental organizations surveyed. 95% of these groups’ governing boards were White. Experts in the field, such as Governor Jerry Brown’s senior advisor, Clifford Rechtschaffen, agree that diversity remains one of the central challenges of the environmental movement, yet also one of the central opportunities. As Oakland’s leading advocate for social justice through hip hop culture, we will host UNIFY: The 2nd Annual Oakland Environmental Equity Summit at the Greenpeace Actions Warehouse.The event will be free to the public and will raise money for local POC-led environmental justice groups and environmental education in Bay Area schools. The name is derived from one of the four principles of Hip Hop(peace, love unity and having fun).

whatever|forever & Starline Social Club present: Filastine and Nova with Jel (Anticon)
FREE with RSVP before 9pm, $15 after
Doors: 8/ Show: 9

Filastine & Nova are a multimedia duo working to undermine borders. Their music collides electronic beat production with dense layers of voice, concréte sounds, analogue synths and strings. Spin magazine calls it “bass music for crumbling urban futures,” and Pitchfork says “they sound less like `world’ music and more like music from another world.” Another world is exactly what they aim to create, using sound, video, design, and dance to express a radically different vision of the possible.
