The Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features Allie Rosenbluth with Oil Change International talking about the deceptive Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act currently rushed through Congress, which would weaken bedrock, environmental laws protecting waterways, endangered species, historic sites, tribal consultation, and public review through required, government, environmental impact reports on proposed infrastructure, and would speed permitting of clean and dirty energy projects. We also share news, videos, and reflections on opportunities to oppose and stop this latest legislative deal for industry, tar sands mining and tailings pond pollution of the Athabasca and Mackenzie rivers and First Nations in Canada, a settlement ending the lawsuit brought by Lithium Nevada against six indigenous and allied Thacker Pass mining protesters, a request for support of a Native land defender from the Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline, whose home sustained a retaliatory attack, and an observed, 2026 derailment and Amtrak delay in North Dakota, 25 years after a nearby, Canadian Pacific train wreck that released fertilizer ammonia, killed one resident, and injured hundreds more. Broadcast for fourteen 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.
