Today on Sojourner Truth:

For our weekly Earth Watch, Tom Goldtooth, executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network, joins us to discuss the impact of Indigenous-led protests against the Keystone XL pipeline. Now, Biden has announced that he is revoking a key permit for the pipeline. The massive protests at Standing Rock against the pipeline brought national and international attention to the issue, and Biden's announcement is seen as a victory. But, is Biden's announcement enough? What more is needed? Also, reaction to Biden's other environmental executive orders and plans.

Also, the latest on the second impeachment of Donald Trump, as Republicans indicate they will not convict him. They also make the claim that the trial is "unconstitutional." Are there any options left for Democrats to hold Trump accountable for the January 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol? Our guest is Marjorie Cohn, professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, where she taught for 25 years. The former president of the National Lawyers Guild and criminal defense attorney is a legal scholar and political analyst who writes books and articles, and lectures throughout the world about human rights, US foreign policy, and the contradiction between the two.

Grassroots activist organizations are now being targeted by social media networks as part of the blow back of the January 6 Capitol invasion. Our guest is Sharon Black, an organizer with both the Peoples Power Assembly, based in Baltimore and with Struggle La Lucha/Mujeres En Lucha, a national women's group.

Today on Sojourner Truth:

The latest on Venezuela as all eyes are on the Biden administration to see if he will continue the previous administration's efforts at regime change to regain U.S. control and influence in that oil-rich nation. This, even as European Union states have withdrawn their recognition of Juan Guaido as interim "president" of Venezuela. In 2019, Guaido declared himself "president," despite the fact that Venezuela already has a democratically-elected president, Nicolas Maduro. What is the situation now, given the recent election results in Venezuela? What is the impact of COVID-19 on that nation? What steps is the government taking to confront the austerity imposed in part as a result of US and EU sanctions? Our guest is Ricardo Vaz, is a writer and editor at Venezuela Analysis, an independent website produced by individuals who are dedicated to disseminating news and analysis about the current political situation in Venezuela. Ricardo is based in Venezuela.

Nana Gyamfi joins us to discuss what's going on with Black immigrants in the United States and deportations. Across the nation of Mexico, thousands of African and African-descended immigrants from Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Gabon, The Congo, Haiti, and elsewhere, are stranded as they are being denied entry to the United States. Many of them are mothers, children and young men, and they often face violence from criminal groups exploiting their vulnerable situations. Also, a report on the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence against People of African Descent in the United States. Nana Gyamfi is an attorney, consultant, educator, activist, the Executive Director of Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), and the President of the National Conference of Black Lawyers.

Also, we remember Rudy Salas, founding member of the Chicano R&B band Tierra, who passed away on December 29, 2020. We speak with his brother, Steve Salas, who co-founded Tierra along with Rudy.
