Perhaps you work as part of a restorative justice program, are in a Rotary group that conducts projects across the globe, or help out an elderly neighbor. Peace building takes on many forms, small and large, and we want to capture what you do that makes a difference in your community, your state, our world.

A photographer will take a professional-quality, digital photo and a photo with your cell phone that you can post to social media. The photos will be used as part of a video that will be shown to an international audience at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum being held in Minneapolis from March 6-8. It's your chance to tell the world why peace matters.

The photo shoot is open to the public, so be sure to invite your friends! More at http://www.augsburg.edu/news/2015/02/17/peaceitforward/

#HipHopActivismConference
_________________________

This event is FREE to all and open to the public like all Hip Hop should be.
_________________________

In reaction to systemic U.S. police brutality toward People of Color, the global mass demonstrations for Mike Brown and Eric Garner, and the many unknown victims of police brutality, this conference wants to mobilize and organize those involved in Hip Hop to work to end these acts and systems of violence, torture, and oppression. Taking place on February 21 to observe the horrific assassination of Malcolm X in 1965, this conference is dedicated to the history, research, practice, and theory of Hip Hop activism. The conference will host workshops, roundtables, teach-ins, panels, and lectures. We plan for this conference to be a mixture of political analysis and practical street-line skill building. Hip Hop activism uses the four elements of Hip Hop for justice and peace and is most often concerned with defending youth, self-expression, and claiming space. The topics that Hip Hop activism most often covers include, but is not limited to, police brutality, the war on drugs, mass incarceration, racism, poverty, education, and the criminalization of Hip Hop culture. All are invited to attend and present, and we hope to make this a yearly event held at different locations across the globe.
