The Wednesday, October 25, 2023, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features speakers at the February 13 People’s Hearing to Stop GTN Xpress, hosted by a Northwest coalition to gather testimony from community and tribal members threatened by Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) pipeline expansion. We also share news, music, and reflections on recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval of GTN Xpress, Spokane and Idaho news coverage, upcoming legal challenges, and inland Northwest protests of the FERC decision, updates and a benefit for Spokane indigenous activist Jacob Johns shot in New Mexico, and a Sunrise Movement explanation of the American Climate Corps. 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.
