Today on Sojourner Truth we begin by paying homage to the life of Tyre Nichols as civil rights leaders including: Reverend Al Sharpton, speak at his funeral on Wednesday, contextualizing the significance of his death at the hands of black police officers. We are joined by civil rights icon Zoharah Simmons who will be discussing the response from educators and civil rights organizers to the rejection of an advanced placement course on African American studies for high school students last month by Florida's department of education, under the leadership of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. Initially Florida tried to ban the course entirely, but after weeks of backlash and even a potential lawsuit the College Board released the official curriculum for a new Advanced Placement course in African American studies on Wednesday, the first day of Black History Month. However, critics point out that the newest iteration of the course is now missing several themes and voices from Black scholars that were originally presented in a pilot program already being taught at dozens of schools this year across the country. The month of January culminates in what is being proclaimed globally as the deadliest period of fighting between Israel and Palestine in years in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports Israel has killed at least 42 Palestinians in this month alone, including 8 children and an elderly woman. The deadliest Israeli raid in the West Bank took place on Thursday January 26, when Israeli forces raided the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, killing 10 people. It was the deadliest Israeli raid in the West Bank in two decades. We discuss these latest developments in the Israeli-Palestine conflict with Michael Kalmanovitz, founding member of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network. We will also hear our weekly Earth Minute segment from the Global Justice Ecology project on carbon offset realities for major U.S. corporations. Our Earth Watch guest joining us to delve into a deeper discussion of carbon offset and its impact on climate change is researcher Jutta Kill, whose current research focuses on analyzing the role of carbon markets in the emergence of the Green Economy concept where natural complexity and diversity are transformed into "natural capital" – the re-defined "nature" of the Green Economy. Her recent writings explore how in the process, rules-based environmental legislation and fines for violation of environmental regulation are being replaced with incentive-based regulation and fees that buy the right to destroy or pollute.

Sojourner Truth in partnership with the Global Justice Ecology Project present our weekly Earth Minute segment on the science behind the actual impact of carbon offsets corporations claim.

Today on Sojourner Truth: What are genetically modified mosquitoes? Who is making them and why? Find out in today's Earth Watch segment

In 2020, COVID-19 was declared a public health emergency (PHE). Two years later, over 16 million people, including 6 million children, could potentially lose health insurance when the federal public health state of emergency (PHE) ends as soon as April 2022. We will speak to public health reporter Libby Watson about the impact this will have on millions of Americans. Also, we will discuss the historic role of the U.S. in the Ukraine/Russia war with organizer and writer Bryce Green. Finally, what are genetically modified mosquitos and who is making them? Find out in today's Earth Minute segment.

Last week, an 80 million acre oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico was invalidated after a federal judge ruled the auction did not properly analyze the impacts on climate change. The decision casts uncertainty over the future of U.S. federal offshore drilling. The ruling, which cancels 1.7 million acres of oil and gas leases from that sale, comes after a lawsuit filed in March by the environmental group Earthjustice on behalf of a coalition of groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, Healthy Gulf and Friends of the Earth. According to an Earthjustice Senior Attorney, “We simply cannot continue to make investments in the fossil fuel industry to the peril of our communities and increasingly warming planet." Vacating the lease sale is a step in the right direction, but systemic change requires stopping all oil and gas development, and looking for ways to dramatically decrease our energy consumption.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Women in Southern California and across the nation are gearing up to march for reproductive rights. This, as Texas passes a law that basically bans a women's right to decide whether or not to be a mother. Other Republican-controlled states are moving in the same direction. This is a fundamental threat to Roe v. Wade, the decades-old Supreme Court decision that protects a women's right to choose. Our guest is Emiliana Guereca, founder of the Women's March Foundation Los Angeles. For our weekly Earth Watch, Ivonne Yanez, an Ecuadorian environmentalist, joins us to discuss her critique of the so-named "Green Economy." She also fills us in on global efforts to protect forests. Robert Mejia joins us to discuss the Justice on Trial Film Festival, which kicks off today, Thursday, September 30. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.
