EQUAL RIGHTS + JUSTICE
Equal Rights & Justice is one of Peter’s fiercest and dearest battles, one he championed, talked and sung about extensively throughout his illustrious career. This initiative aims to continue his unfinished fight to see the oppressed liberated from the torment of injustice.
As he rightly used to say:
"There will be no peace until there’s Equal Rights & Justice for All."

NIAMBE MCINTOSH
Chairperson of the Board
Over the last several years, Niambe McIntosh, the youngest child of the revolutionary musician and activist Peter Tosh, has stepped up to the mantle to carry on her father’s message and legacy. A renaissance woman, she serves many roles, including the head of the Peter Tosh Estate and Brand; Managing Member of Tosh Holdings LLC; Board Chairperson for the Peter Tosh Foundation Ltd.; and President of PT Capital LLC.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, McIntosh has come to call both home. She received a Bachelors Degree in Engineering and enjoyed a successful career in the field during her early 20’s, however her passion for working with kids of all ages led her to switch gears and become an educator. She spent nearly a decade working in the Boston Public School system teaching mathematics and special education to high school 9th-12th graders.

During this time, Niambe was instrumental in the planning and development of the Peter Tosh Museum which opened in 2016 and is a national landmark edifice in Kingston, Jamaica dedicated to the preservation of her father’s legacy. Additionally, Mcintosh and her family founded the Peter Tosh Foundation in 2017 to serve as the vehicle for the realization of her father’s dream.
Niambe’s fire for advocacy also stems from a family crisis in February of 2017 in which her brother Jawara McIntosh – musician and cannabis activist – was brutally attacked while incarcerated for cannabis possession. She moved to New Jersey to be by his side during his near death experience which compelled her to raise awareness of the dire conditions faced by prisoners and the need for prison reform in the United States.
Beyond family and business, McIntosh also serves on the Board of Directors for the non-profit cannabis advocacy organization, Minorities For Medical Marijuana (M4MM), which focuses on public policy, business development, patient education and social justice as it pertains to minority issues in the cannabis industry. McIntosh is a spokesperson for the organization’s “Project Clean Slate” which provides record expungements and wrap-around services for individuals with cannabis arrests.
Niambe McIntosh is unquestionably cut from the same cloth as her father, yet not living in his shadows… Instead, she has developed her own identity while breathing new life into his.

Glenn’s story begins in Brooklyn, New York. As a teen coming up in the late 1970s, Glenn earned his early music credit as a pioneer of Hip Hop culture. In his 20s, Glenn landed a corporate job which he juggled alongside music production because it afforded him the opportunity to execute some of his childhood goals by investing in a Queens Village recording studio.
Glenn’s roots in the music industry proved to be a pivotal stepping stone to his next career move. The Book Bank Foundation, which he founded in 1998, was Glenn’s way of giving back to the place where he started. He wanted to share the confidence and insight that reading gave him, with those who were enduring rough times and who had been displaced from their homes. To date, the BBF has served over 175,000 children nationwide and contributed over 520,000 hours of community service with tutoring, alternative education solutions and career development services to Atlanta Shelters, Shelter from the Streets and Hero Awards.

She currently serves on the board for AccessMA, a charity organization dedicated to expanding access to health and human resources for incarcerated individuals, their families, and impacted communities.
