Success in the show is reportedly judged by things like a competitors’ social media response and engagement.
“‘The Activist’ will spread awareness about society’s most urgent issues while also giving every viewer the opportunity to be part of the solution — an unprecedented example of how entertainment can change the world,” CEO of Live Nation Entertainment Michael Rapino shared with Variety.
“Combining competition and compassion, these essential causes will take center stage, as the show proves that there are no issues we can’t solve when we work together and demand change,” he added.
