The Wednesday, September 13, 2023, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features railroad workers and trackside environmental justice organizers advocating for U.S. rail system nationalization and electrification during a Freight Rail in the Public Interest webinar. We also share news, music, and reflections on Northwest coalition, tribal, and government opposition to GTN Xpress gas pipeline expansion, a Cop City construction blockade and protest in Atlanta, oil industry relinquishment of Gulf of Mexico oil and gas exploration blocks, and new federal protections and cancelled drilling leases of Alaska arctic lands. 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.
