Sojourner Truth Radio

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our guests are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg and Dr. Gerald Horne.

On Thursday, April 22, Earth Day was marked around the world, as President Joe Biden tried to undo some of the damage to the role of the U.S. in stemming the environmental crisis. But is it too little and too late? How do the tensions between the United States and adversaries China and Russia bear out in efforts to tame environmental devastation? What about frontline communities in the Global North as well as the Global South? Can the climate crisis be halted without the Global North putting up money and resources to assist the Global South? Can the market economy and environmental justice exist simultaneously?

Also, the killings by police of Black people continue unabated. Now, in Florida, Texas and other states, they are putting forward a slew of laws that have the effect of criminalizing protests and protesters. This, as the George Floyd Act to address reform in policing stalls in the U.S. Senate. Also, voter suppression bills continue unabated.

Today on Sojourner Truth:

We commemorate Earth Day, which was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. As world leaders gather today virtually for a White House climate summit, President Joe Biden has announced plans to slash green house gas emissions in half by 2030. This, as the Biden administration proposes that nations support the Paris Climate Accord, which the U.S. has now rejoined. But is this enough? Environmentalists have longed criticized the Paris Climate Accord for being too modest given the level of devastation of the environment. Many also decry what they call false solutions to the climate crisis. They say capitalism and its market-focused economy are at odds with protecting the planet. For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Paula Gioia, a beekeeper and peasant farmer in a community-run agroecological farm in Germany near Berlin.

Japan intends to dump more than a million tons of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This follows the 2011 incident, where six atomic power reactors were severely damaged following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake which was followed by a tsunami that damaged the nuclear plant. Our guest is Kevin Kamps, who has served as Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Beyond Nuclear advocates for an energy future that is sustainable, benign and democratic.

On Thursday, April 22, the funeral of Daunte Wright will be held. Daunte was shot and killed by the police just ten miles from where George Floyd was killed. Since then, there have been two other police killings of Black people that we know about. Our guest is Mic Crenshaw, an anti-racist campaigner raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and now based in Portland, Oregon, where he is the Regional Director of Hip-Hop Congress.

Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.
