Every Drop Counts is a grassroots organization assembled in response to the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti.
A group of young artists and activists in Chicago came together with the goal to raise funds in order to send filtration equipment that will provide sustainable, clean bathing and drinking water. Thus, the name Every Drop Counts. They began by establishing a hip-hop and soul benefit concert—scheduled to take place in Chicago on Sunday, January 31, 2010. The benefit is meant to create awareness of the fundamental need and human right to access clean water. Water is an essential resource to the vitality of human life, it engenders prolonged community building and development. They are partnering with local sponsors and non-for-profits to insure we maximize the urgency of survival in Haiti, and their primary partner is the World Water Relief.
Every Drop Counts Benefit Concert, will include performances by:
Fred Hampton Jr., M1 [of Dead Prez], Jean Grae, Mystic, Rhyme Fest, The Cool Kids, BBU, FM Supreme, Mic Terror, Mikkey Halsted, He Say She Say, Kids These Days, Haki Madhubuti, DJ Sean Mac, DJ Izzo, and appearances by countless surprise guests.
