- Lots of ways...some of which can be found on my Cool 'n Conscientious blog: http://cooltool.ning.com
- What is the best way for the Hip Hop community to impact the 2008 elections?
- Get behind a particular agenda, and engage artists to create works (music, ringtones, etc.) around it to share with the larger community. The works they create should be attached to a specific action like "get out the vote", sign up for a local political activity, support XYZ candidate. This can easily be done via a variety of online and mobile technology tools.
- What are some local, regional, and/or national efforts that suppor the hip hop community's participation in the 2008 elections?
- Not familiar with this stuff...
- How/what do you plan to contribute to efforts that engage the hip hop community in the 2008 election?
