The Wednesday, December 25, 2024, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features Bhie-Cie Zahn-Nahtzu, Paul Cienfuegos, and Max Wilbert, all defenders of lands, waters, and indigenous cultures impacted by the Thacker Pass lithium mine in northern Nevada, who are facing a corporate SLAPP suit against their on-site prayer ceremonies and demonstrations. We also share news, music, and reflections on a call for resistance gatherings on the weekend before Donald’s Trump inauguration, a soon-aired discussion among Railroad Workers United, trackside community protectors, and labor advocates, a BNSF Railway Columbia riverside derailment, GTN Xpress methane pipeline expansion anomalies, safety and transparency failures, and an inland Northwest week of pipeline start-up protests, and approved studies of Highway 95 Long Bridge replacement over Idaho’s largest lake. 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 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.
