Political protest is on the rise — and with it, a growing need for leaders to speak to protest rallies. This episode, we talk with veteran environmental and climate campaigner Tzeporah Berman about rally speeches: how to plan, write and deliver them for maximum impact. This two-part episode starts with a discussion on planning your speech and thinking about strategy, and concludes in part two by talking about writing and delivery. About our guest: Tzeporah has over two decades of experience designing campaigns and speaking to crowds small and large (and very large). She's one of the leading Canadian voices on climate, energy and sustainability — and she's had a tremendous impact. There are 40 million hectares of old-growth forest that are still around today in no small part because of her work. She’s an adjunct professor at York University, and works as a strategic advisor to several First Nations, environmental groups and philanthropic foundations on climate and energy issues. She co-chaired the Alberta government’s Oilsands Advisory Working Group, which developed consensus recommendations on the province’s climate plan. Tzeporah she co-founded ForestEthics — now called Stand.earth — nearly 20 years ago, and recently returned to the organization as their international program director. Links: I had the good fortune of collaborating with Tzeporah on a blog post about speaking to rallies a few years ago. Two years on, it's still the most popular post on my blog.

Today we are joined by Jody Holmes, forest defender and primary architect of the historic Great Bear Rainforest Agreements which protected the largest expanses of old growth temperate rainforest in the world. The Rainforest Solutions Project is a unique and innovative coalition consisting of Greenpeace, Sierra Club BC and Stand (formerly ForestEthics). For almost 2 decades, they have had a singular mission of “pioneering collaboration between deeply divergent interests (government, First Nations, environmentalists and logging companies) in the Great Bear Rainforest to develop a world-leading legal and policy framework called Ecosystem-Based Management”. The decades-long struggle over British Columbia's enormous coastal rainforests culminated in one of the most extraordinary conservation, social justice, and indigenous rights victories in recent memory: a historic multi-generational agreement between the parties to conserve and sustainably manage the 15-million acre Great Bear Rainforest, one of the largest old growth temperate rainforests on the planet. Eighty-five percent of these forests are now legally off-limits to logging. savethegreatbear.org

Given the Bakken and Tar Sands oil booms, the transportation of crude by rail in the US has spiked by 4000% since 2008. Much of the oil being moved by trains across the States is destined for overseas markets, via our local refineries. So, what's in it for us? Today Laura Garzon Chica (@EarthMediaArts) discusses the explosive threat of these potentially deadly “bomb trains” with Valerie Love of the Center for Biological Diversity, Matt Krogh of ForestEthics, and Ash Kalra of the San Jose City Council. The post Crude By Rail from the Bakken to the Bay appeared first on KPFA.

The show opens with Ben West, the Tar Sands Campaign Director for ForestEthics. Ben joins us to update on the Energy East pipeline as it applies with the National Energy Boards, and the effects of recent rail disasters on public perception of tar sands safety. Our main feature this week is part one of a two part interview with Hayley Lapalme from My Sustainable Canada and Dave Kranenberg Director of Programming for the Centre for Social Innovation (and former Executive Director of Meal Exchange).
