On the Monday, June 25, 2012, Climate Justice Forum radio program, Wild Idaho Rising Tide (http://wildidahorisingtide.org/) enthusiastically welcomes Eriel Deranger, the Edmonton-based communications coordinator for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations. Eriel discusses the Third Annual Tar Sands Healing Walk in Fort McMurray on August 4 and the impacts of Alberta tar sands operations on indigenous land and health. We also talk about ExxonMobil/Imperial Oilâs recent decision to withdraw its permit applications to use Highway 12 and Montana rural roads for its tar sands equipment transports to Alberta. Originally broadcast on KRFP Radio Free Moscow (http://radiofreemoscow.org/) between 7:30 and 9:30 pm PDT live at 92.5 FM and online, the show also covers regional and continent-wide climate activism news.
Helen Yost of Wild Idaho Rising Tide offers news and conversations with climate change activists and scientists about corporate dirty energy projects and citizen resistance, interspersed with protest songs and descriptions of grassroots direct actions and community initiatives.
