Kanye West declared "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Sunday, before Kanye's concert a coalition of Pittsburghers will gather before the concert to show that the people of Pittsburgh —black, white, young, old—DO CARE about each other and our city. The hip-hop generation has been portrayed as violent, disaffected, disenfranchised, but in reality hip hop has always been about activism and community. We get together to show that the hip hop generation can be a positive force of community action and change. This rally represents cooperation amongst a number of grass roots organizations including:

Hip Hop 4 Survival

Millions More Movement

The League of Young Voters

The League of Hip Hop Voters

The National Hip Hop Political Convention

Color of Change/www.kanyewasright.org

The Source Magazine

University of Pittsburgh Black Action Society

This rally is non partisan, and not about any one issue. We come together to say; it doesn't matter what you stand for, as long as you stand.
