Many organizations came together for the actions, including protests in Washington, D.C. and New York City. Rev. Lennox Yearwood joins us to talk about Saturday's actions, the hip-hop generation's involvement in environmental activism, and his new initiative, Green the Block, with Van Jones and Majora Carter's Green for All.
