ICYMI Last Week: Three-time Grammy-nominee, singer, songwriter, and humanitarian, Raheem DeVaughn, joined us in the studio to discuss how we can harness the power of culture to improve our communities and protect our planet.

You can listen to episode 18 on iTunes podcast and watch a view of the video clips now (using your voice as a tool for positive change, being an “artivist”, encountering systematic racism, connecting policy makers to what’s happening).

Raheem has been a long-time climate justice advocate and has done some great work over the years, including joining Hip Hop Caucus’ Climate Campus Tour and recording an amazing trackfor the People’s Climate Music Heal Our Mother Earth (H.O.M.E.) album.

On Episode 19, our hosts Antonique Smith, Rev Yearwood, and Mustafa Santiago Ali sit down with Kim Reed, Director and Producer of Dark Money, a new documentary about the influx of anonymous money in U.S. elections. The film examines just how complex, far-reaching, and devastating the consequences are from the Citizens United Supreme Court decision handed down in 2010. Check out the trailer and more about the film at DarkMoneyFilm.com.

On Episode 18, we have three-time Grammy-nominee, singer, songwriter, and humanitarian, Raheem DeVaughn joining us to discuss the power of culture to improve our communities and planet.

ICYMI: last week we had three amazing young leaders from Zero Hour on the show to talk about the Youth Climate March that took place this past Saturday in cities around the world. Our Think 100% team was on the ground at the event on the National Mall in D.C. and truly moved by the energy and focus of the thousands of young people stepping up for just solutions to climate change. This weekend was more than a moment; it was the beginning of a movement. We can’t wait to see what’s next from our friends and urge everyone to check out some of their powerful words on the show last week (1. bearing the burden, 2. paradigm shifting, 3. we can’t live in the moment if we’re worried about life and death).

Think 100% challenges environmental injustices and shares just solutions to climate change, including a transition to 100% clean energy for all. The show is hosted by national civil and human rights, and environmental and climate leaders, Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., Dr. Mustafa Santiago Ali, and Grammy-Nominated Singer & Actress, Antonique Smith. Guests include leaders from communities on the front-lines of climate change, elected officials who are boldly leading, and cultural creators and artists who are reaching hearts and minds.

This week, we’ll be joined by three of the founding members of Zero Hour, a powerful youth-led climate organization. They, like us, are fed up with the inaction by so many of the leaders in our country, including our current President. They know how critical it is to act now on the most pressing issue of our time, and they want to do it right. #ThisIsZeroHour

Jamie Margolin is the founder and president of Zero Hour, as well as a Climate Justice Ambassador with Plant for the Planet and the founder of an environmental lobbying group in Washington. Her involvement with environmental activism has been dedicated and headline-worthy, including her ongoing lawsuit with the Washington government over climate change. At sixteen years old, she has accomplished a great deal and continues to push to make her and other young activists’ voices heard. 

Nadia Nazar is a founding member and Art Director & Co-Partnerships Lead for Zero Hour.  She is conscious of the fact that climate change is killing the environment and the souls that it consists of and is doing everything in her power to combat this from happening.  As a sixteen-year-old, Nadia is taking the step herself to ensure a better future instead of waiting for policy makers to take action. 

Madelaine Tew is a founding member and Director of Fundraising of Zero Hour. She is a strong proponent of youth leadership, and believes passionately in action quickly to combat climate change. At Zero Hour, she works towards ensuring concrete change and wide involvement in the climate movement.
