Hon. George Martinez - Global Block Foundation

If you believe it is time for a  "new breed of politics" mixed with vibrant culture and connected communities, do not miss Talkupy with Annie Lindstrom on Thursday, August 9 at 11 am Eastern Time. My guest will be the Honorable George Martinez, Founder & Executive Director of non-profit Global Block Foundation. An award-winning artist, activist, educator, entrepreneur, cultural ambassador,  diplomat, father, husband and more, Hon. G is the first Hip-Hop artist elected to political office in New York. His passion to see truthful, honorable and creative people of all races, creeds and colors win elections everywhere was demonstrated in his recent run for Congress in NY's 7th District. In addition to Global Block, Hon. G currently stewards Bum Rush The Vote. The group works to get voters who might otherwise opt out to become engaged and involved in the political process.
