The Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features Josh Fox, the internationally recognized, frontline writer, director, and filmmaker of Gasland, Parts I and II, and How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change, talking about fracking and extreme energy development and the corporate and political war on truth. We also share news, videos, and reflections on former U.S. national security official Miles Taylor explaining the rising personal consequences of open dissent and the public costs of a mute majority in American civic life and democracy, and a 2025 surge in big banks retreating from climate promises and increasing fossil fuel financing. 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. ~Helen

HAPPY EARTH DAY? "Never use Amazon again. Never buy another Apple product. De-Google. Take as much money as you can out of the big banks. Put it into credit unions. Only support small businesses as much as possible. Start using cash as much as possible. And step by step, we can shut down this contraption that was designed in the 1700s, for extraction, exploitation, and permanent war."
