More about Hood Health/HIP HOP: 

"HIP HOP is about improving the health and health awareness of the people who are both shut out and abused by the corporate healthcare system. The program has four pillars.
Education

HIP HOP gives people the knowledge they need to make educated choices regarding their health. We will raise awareness regarding prevention and treatment for HIV/AIDS, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other ailments using alternative and traditional medicine.
Health Screening

HIP HOP empowers people to manage their own care through health screenings and tests. We will offer free health screenings for HIV/AIDS, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other general health concerns.
Community Health Clinic

HIP HOP puts control over healthcare in local communities. We will train community healthcare workers and then build a local clinic that can serve the people."


The Inter-Communal Solidarity Committee has a number of projects going on. Check out the ICSC Facebook page to get more involved:

"The Inter-Communal Solidarity Committee is a round table, a connecting point for Los Angeles social justice activists who want to plug in, raise funds, raise hell, and break the chains of capitalism. We are an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-classist, pro-emancipation collection of urgent radical grassroots projects created by a diverse and changing tapestry of ideologies. We will smash until we win, and we will do it together."
