The Wednesday, July 5, 2023, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features news, music, and reflections on the July full supermoon, indigenous resistance, black revolts, and U.S. government counterinsurgency starting with the Declaration of Independence, federal agency killing of park-dwelling Canada geese before July 4 events and training and actions against oil trains and infrastructure in north Idaho, a terminated regional railroad lease, bridge collapse, and asphalt binder spill from a Yellowstone River derailment in Montana, central Oregon opposition to Northwest gas pipeline expansion, coalition resistance to international trade agreement attacks on climate policies, and greater radioactive waste generated by Idaho-tested small modular reactors than by traditional nuclear plants.  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.
