Climate Justice Forum: GTN Xpress Pipeline Hearing, Construction, & Letter, Northwest Trains & Idaho Protest, Indigenous Challenges of BC Methane Pipelines & Police Violence 9-11-24


The Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features speakers at the February 2023 People’s Hearing to Stop GTN Xpress, hosted by a Northwest coalition to gather testimony from community and tribal members threatened by the Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) Xpress fracked methane pipeline expansion.  We also share news, music, and reflections on increased Washington coal trains during early September, Eighth Panhandle Paddle protests of railroaded fossil fuels and expanded infrastructure in north Idaho, GTN Xpress compressor station construction in Oregon and Washington, a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission letter in belated response to Northwest governors, a British Columbia (B.C.) case brought by criminalized Wet’suwet’en land defenders against Canadian police violence protecting the Coastal GasLink pipeline, and B.C. roads closed by Gitanyow hereditary chiefs opposing the rerouted Prince Rupert Gas Transmission line.  Broadcast for twelve 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 at KRFP and the Pacifica Network AudioPort, the show describes continent-wide, grassroots, frontline resistance 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.
