Hip Hop Caucus at the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington

Monday, August 28th marked the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington.

Throughout the week, Hip Hop Caucus leadership and staff joined several events to stand in solidarity with our partners, organizers, and supporters to say boldly, “we will not go back.” Hip Hop Caucus President and CEO Rev Yearwood spoke to the crowd to emphasize that climate justice is a civil and human rights issue and provided three calls to action for the Biden administration to act on climate. View Rev Yearwood’s full speech below, as well as photos from the week’s events.
