Overview:

 Our hosts were joined by two relentless advocates fighting injustice, driving community-led solutions, and empowering the disenfranchised — Kerene Tayloe and Kelly Miller. As someone facing homelessness, Kelly gave us an incredible perspective on unreported impacts from climate change and shared how her perseverance as an advocate is helping create policy solutions. Kerene focused on empowering women, organizing climate refugees to vote, and building solutions that have lasting positive health, economic, and housing outcomes for everyone.

 Our most basic public health protections are under attack. At the same time our ability to provide input into the decision-making process has been whittled away. These actions are especially dire for communities of color, low-income communities, and indigenous communities, who already face disproportionate impacts from pollution, sagging infrastructure, and climate change. While United States Congressional Members of color and green organizations are stepping up to protect our communities, there is more work to be done to reverse historic wrongs and current actions being taken by the current Administration.

 
In episode six of Think 100%, we sit down with United States Senator Cory Booker to dig into the challenges and solutions. Also joining us are leaders from Green Peace USA, an organization at the front-lines of the biggest fights to free us from fossil fuels that are causing climate change. The League of Conservation Voters will also be dropping by to let us know just how well Members of Congress are doing to protect our communities and planet. You don’t want to miss this episode.

READ MORE: The New American Road Trip! Highlighting Unsung Heroes of Climate Change Across the United States

Tune in for a solutions filled show featuring stories from The New American Road Trip, a cross-country journey taking place right now in an electric car to highlight “Unsung Heroes of Climate Change”. Along the way, the trip is stopping to meet with local leaders, innovators, workers, and communities proving that America’s commitment to fighting climate change is real, is robust, and is going to move us forward to healthier, 100% clean energy future for all.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (aka Jamie Lannister in Game of Thrones!)

The trip started last week at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, where local leaders in the U.S. and around the world set new ambitious goals to fight climate change. At the summit, city and state governments, business leaders and civil society signed a call to action showing their increased ambition to mitigate climate change. Since the summit, the trip has weaved its way across the country, gathering support for the call to action with events in Las Vegas, Boulder, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh featuring local leaders and special guests like actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones).

In Las Vegas, our co-host Antonique Smith joined Michael Bloomberg and CEO of MGM Jim Murren to highlight how renewable energy makes good business sense (picture below, story here).

On Wednesday, September 26th, the trip will conclude by delivering the call to action at Climate Week NYC 2018 to French President Emmanuel Macron, a symbolic gesture to show that America is “still in” when it comes to fighting climate change.

Joining us live on the air from the road trip will be the talented comedian, writer, producer, and activist, JC Coccoli, aka the Earth’s Fiercest Comedy Darling. She’s been helping drive and will share with us some of the stories from stops across the country.
