Climate Justice Forum: Washington Governor on GTN Xpress Rehearing Petitions, Northwest Double Coal Trains, Atlanta Cop City Blockade, Dakota Access Pipeline Comment Period 11-29-23


The Wednesday, November 29, 2023, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features a media conference held by Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Columbia Riverkeeper attorney Audrey Leonard, talking about petitions for rehearing filed by West Coast states and a Northwest coalition, challenging federal approval of the GTN Xpress fracked methane pipeline expansion.  We also share news, music, and reflections on the deadly international and Zionist dynamics of settler colonialism and resistance, double-long coal trains and Navajo mine-forced coal shipments crossing north Idaho and Washington, an elder blockade of Atlanta cop training center construction, and an extended public comment period on a court-ordered environmental review of the Dakota Access pipeline.  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 opposition to fossil fuels projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.
