The Wednesday, June 12, 2024, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features indigenous and allied activists protecting Thacker Pass from northern Nevada lithium mine construction through non-violent actions and necessity defense lawsuits.  We also share news, music, and reflections on the admitted financial troubles of a proposed Northwest methane gas pipeline expansion, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission nominees approved by committee for U.S. Senate consideration, a Congressional resolution introduced to block recent rules for fossil-fueled power plants, and U.S. House investigations into a Trump request for campaign contributions in exchange for reduced regulation of oil company operations.  Broadcast for twelve years on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow, every Wednesday between 1:30 and 3 pm Pacific time, on-air at 90.3 FM and online, the show describes continent-wide, grassroots, frontline resistance to fossil fuels projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.
