     This is my second action project, in which had to create a PSA. The PSA had to be related to one of the 4 elements of hip-hop, graffiti, breakdancing, MCing, and DJing.

The one I chose to make is a protest poster. While making this poster, I wanted people to read my poster and realize that this is a serious issue and that we should talk more about it. I also wanted to bring attention to one of the SDGs, specifically number 6 (clean w...
