recycle + reinvest
bang.4.liberation
Our Mission Is To Empower, Educate, and Inspire Youth Through Eco-Conscious Hip-Hop.
From a street hip-hop movement to a transformative hip-hop music program, our organization has been dedicated to bridging the gap between trash and crime in underserved communities. Recognizing the power of music as an agent of change, we have reimagined the street culture and channeled it into an innovative program called BANG 4 LIBERATION that empowers and uplifts the youth. Through our community block parties and workshops, we make space for eco-conscious creations from the youth to take root.

jemez principles for democratic organizing
At the heart of our recycling and environmental justice initiatives lies a commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, and community-driven action. We are proud to integrate the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing into our work, guiding our efforts to create a more equitable and effective approach to environmental justice.
The Jemez Principles are a set of guidelines developed by grassroots organizations working for social justice. These principles provide a framework for building inclusive, respectful, and collaborative communities, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard and valued in the decision-making process. Here's why we use these principles in our recycling and environmental justice work:
be inclusive
We prioritize the voices of those often left out of the conversation by creating spaces where the community can actively participate in localized sustainability efforts
mutual solidarity
We partner with local groups, schools, and organizations to strengthen our recycling programs, knowing that collaboration is key to lasting environmental justice
bottom-up organizing
We empower individuals and groups to take the lead in recycling, waste reduction, and eco-creative sovereignty ensuring sustainable success
build just relations
From our volunteers to our partners, we are committed to creating a culture of fairness, where everyone has the opportunity to lead and contribute to positive change
speak for thyself
We engage community directly by giving them the tools, knowledge, and opportunities to take part in recycling and environmental advocacy
self evolution
We believe that transforming ourselves and our communities is an ongoing process of reflection and accountability we embrace this commitment with passion and dedication
