The Extinction Rebellion is a nonviolent direct action campaign that started in the United Kingdom in the Fall of 2018 to push governments to declare a climate crisis and to take action to rapidly cut net carbon emissions. It quickly spread to more than 50 countries including the United States where activists added another demand for climate justice to make sure that the government's actions do not worsen the current crises of racism, inequality and oppression. Little did US organizers expect that after decades of bringing justice to the forefront of the climate movement, Extinction Rebellion UK would work to undermine that. We speak with long time environmental and climate justice activists Cherri Foytlin and Bea Ruiz, national team members of Extinction Rebellion US, about their struggle to protect the progress they've made.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Dr. Gerald Horne joins us to discuss the controversial legacy of Robert Mugabe, who died on Sept. 6 in Singapore, where he was receiving medical treatment. He served as the President of Zimbabwe for 37 years, leading his nation from a British colony to independence. He was 95 years old. His body is now back in Zimbabwe and his final resting place will be in the village where he was born. Protests broke out anew on Sept. 11, marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 1988 massacre by paramilitary thugs that took place at the Saint-Jean Bosco church of liberation theology priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Aristide, after leaving the priesthood, went on to become the first democratically-elected President of Haiti. The protests were also in opposition to the series of massacres that have been taking place in the neighborhoods surrounding Saint-Jean Bosco church; massacres backed by the U.S.-supported Haitian government. Paramilitary thugs affiliated with that government have carried out a series of massacres. Our guest is journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina. For our weekly Earth Watch, Cherri Foytlin, an Afro-Indigenous organizer and mother based in southwest Louisiana, discusses direct action and the connection between migration and climate. Lastly, we premiere our new feature, Sojourner Truth Extras.

Today we will look deep into the challenges faced by frontline Indigenous activists in one of America’s most vibrant, and imperiled, regions, the Mississippi Delta. Monique Michelle Verdin is the creator of the film My Louisiana Love. Her intimate documentation of the Deltas’ indigenous Houma nation exposes the complex interconnectedness of environment, economics, culture, climate and change. Cherri Foytlin is the author of "Spill It! The Truth About the Deep Water Horizon Oil Rig Explosion," and she has been a constant voice speaking out for the health and ecosystems of Gulf Coast communities.

We speak with activists who are fighting to protect their homes from new fossil fuel projects. Cherri Foytlin from South Louisiana has been working constantly since the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico to protect the people of that region and their livelihoods. She is currently organizing a mass action to peacefully protest an auction of more oil drilling leases in the Gulf on March 23. Megan Holleran is a landowner in Northeast Pennsylvania who is physically blocking Williams, the company that wants to build the Constitution gas pipeline, from cutting down more than 100 trees on her property. Williams has not yet been granted all of the permits required to build the pipeline. The Holleran family and supporters are maintaining a vigil on their property to stop any tree cutting. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

"The time has come" says Foytlin, "we have exhausted our options, collected the facts, tried negotiation, gone from meeting to meeting. The oil is still here. We are still here, and we will not wait! Take care of my people on the coast!" Since last summer, when Foytlin reached out to President Obama (to no avail), she has attended countless town hall meetings, community forums, and has walked from New Orleans to Washington DC in order to be sure federal officials are aware of the unresolved economic, environmental, and health devastation caused by the BP disaster. Foytlin is one of several dozen Gulf Coast fishermen, BP clean-up workers, residents and community organizers who gathered in front of BP Headquarters in New Orleans to mark the one year anniversary of the date when the White House falsely claimed that 75% of the oil was gone from the Gulf of Mexico. The group demanded BP and Kenneth Feinberg honor health claims and operate a transparent and fair claims process for those impacted financially. Feinberg has denied all health claims and has approved less than 40% of all claims submitted. Tonight! Hear first hand accounts from locals who are reaching out to fellow Americans to hear their stories and accounts of what is STILL HAPPENING right in our own back yard. What is STILL happening in the Gulf? Find out TONIGHT!
