Episode 22 features our good friend Kendrick Sampson, star in the brand new season of Insecure on HBO. While he is building an impressive acting career, he is also one of the most “woke” artists in Hollywood. He is both an artist and activist, or what we like to call an “Artivist”. We’re also covering updates on the upcoming Global Climate Action Summit and People’s Climate March for Climate, Jobs, & Justice in San Francisco this September, the Trump Administration’s new “Dirty Power Scam”, and thirteen years after Hurricane Katrina.

THE GUEST: Kendrick Sampson’s artivism is not just online; he’s helping lead the movement for solutions to injustices facing our communities including unjust immigration, policing, and criminal justice systems, lack of access to clean air and water, and disproportionate impacts from climate change. You can find him on the ground in communities, and at rallies and mass mobilizations, standing side by side with real people in the struggle. In 2016, he joined Hip Hop Caucus at Standing Rock to stand in solidarity with the Water Protectors fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Be sure to follow him on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with his career and activism (@Kendrick38).

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., 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.

On Episode 20, our hosts Antonique Smith, Rev Yearwood, and Mustafa Santiago Ali sit down with leaders working to take our communities from surviving to thriving. Each brings a unique perspective; one as a commissioner on the largest public utility in the country, and one as a longtime community organizer.

Aura Vasquez is an incredible leader, advocate, and activist for environmental and social justice issues. A native of Colombia, she brings her experiences as a Latina immigrant, a woman of color, and successful environmental leader to many issues concerning frontline communities. In May 2017, She was appointed by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to the Board of Commissioners for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for a five year appointment. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is the largest municipal utility in the United States, serving over four million residents.

Nakisa Glover has built a track record as a community organizer from years of corporate, community and service-based work, including building a fusion movement for climate justice as the National Field Coordinator for the Justice Action Mobilization Network (JAMN). She continues to build a network to develop solutions to climate, social and economic justice by fostering relationships with small businesses, faith-based organizations, non-profits, elected officials, colleges and high schools. She recently founded SOL Nation, a local non-profit in North Carolina  providing direct pathways to a just transition, resiliency, and revitalization as we move to a Green Economy.

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.

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.
