Climate Justice Forum: Larry Hildes on Dropped Coal Train Blockade Charges, Ziggy Siegfried on 140 NoDAPL Arrests, Additional Northwest Coal Trains, & Idaho Oil and Gas Lease Auction Protest 10-26-16


The Wednesday, October 26, 2016 Climate Justice Forum radio program hosted by regional climate activist collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide features a conversation with attorney Larry Hildes about dismissed charges by the City of Bellingham and Whatcom County against three Chuckanut Bay, Washington coal train blockaders, and an interview with Spokane climate and environmental activist Ziggy Siegfried, who observed the 140 arrests of Standing Rock Lakota and allied water protectors near the Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota last Saturday.  We also discuss the current rail transport diversion of 11 additional, weekly, Northwest coal trains from the dropped Boardman, Oregon terminal proposal to a Vancouver, B.C. coal export facility, and the Third Idaho Oil and Gas Lease Auction Protest at the Idaho Department of Lands in Boise.  Broadcast on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow every Wednesday between 1:30 and 3 pm PDT, live at 90.3 FM and online, the show covers continent-wide climate activism and community opposition to extreme energy projects, thanks to the generous, anonymous listener who adopted program host Helen Yost as her KRFP DJ.
