The Wednesday, February 22, 2023, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features community members threatened by the Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) pipeline expansion project, testifying at the February 13 People’s Hearing to Stop GTN Xpress hosted by a Northwest coalition. We also share news, videos, and reflections on a new lawsuit filed by three tribes protecting their northern Nevada lands from the Thacker Pass lithium mine, a semi-truck crash and diesel spill into a north Idaho river, and railroaded hazardous materials risks to American trackside communities. Broadcast for eleven 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 fuel projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.
