During the course of filming, cameras followed Yearwood from his roots in Louisiana, to the birthplace of the Hip Hop Caucus in hurricane hit New Orleans, to community organizing in South East Washington, DC, to a national Clean Energy Bus Tour with former Vice President Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, which visited nine cities across America in seven days. "Hip Hop Rev" premiered on Discovery Communications Planet Green Channel April 23, 2011. Recent climate activism Yearwood is on the advisory board of The Climate Mobilization, a grassroots advocacy group calling for a national economic mobilization against climate change on the scale of the home front during World War II, with the goal of 100% clean energy and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. In 2015, Yearwood issued a call "to revitalize our economy and put America back to work by declaring a U.S. goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025." He added that: "Some will no doubt call this bold national goal unrealistic, but they would underestimate the innovative genius and social conscience of the American people. America has a long and proud history of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds (consider World War II, Apollo program and Abolitionist movement). What is unrealistic is thinking we can put off for decades action that is desperately needed now to ensure our survival as a species." Media appearances Yearwood has appeared on CNN, BET Tonight, Al Jazeera, PBS, Fox, MTV, BBC, C-SPAN, and Hardball with Chris Mathews, and has been featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times and Vibe.
