Truth to Power | Eastern Shawnee Chief Glenna Wallace & Jordan Lubetkin | Ohio River Confluence | 11-7-25
This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a vital community conversation with Chief Glenna J. Wallace of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and Jordan Lubetkin of the National Wildlife Federation on the importance of indigenous perspectives to the restoration of the Ohio River Basin. Glenna Wallace was elected to the office of the Chief of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma in 2006. She is the first woman ever elected to this office. From 1968 to 2006, Chief Glenna worked at Crowder College in a variety of roles and received numerous honors and awards. Throughout the years Chief Glenna has been active in numerous organizations and boards in the community and for the tribe. As Senior Director of Ohio River Restoration at the National Wildlife Federation and Ohio River Basin Alliance Board of Trustees member, Jordan Lubetkin, has decades of experience in communications, public policy, and coordinating geographic restoration initiatives. Having worked on the Healing Our Waters: Great Lakes Coalition, he is very familiar with the success of sustained federal funding to improve water quality, restore ecosystem health, and support local economies through boosting recreation potential and maintaining commerce. In this conversation, Jordan explores the work that’s been done by Ohio River watershed stakeholders and partners, including the drafting and release of the Ohio River Basin Restoration and Protection Report by the Ohio River Basin Alliance, the National Wildlife Federation, and the University of Louisville’s Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute. This report, for which Jordan organized and facilitated 31 community listening sessions across the basin and worked with regional tribal chapters to recognize Indigenous stewardship, reaffirm Tribal rights, and forge authentic partnerships to advance Indigenous policy and conservation, makes a case statement to support the need for federal funding in the basin. Chief Glenna J. Wallace, the chief of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, will join Jordan to discuss their shared goals and the importance of collaboration with Indigenous groups in restoration. This work will help ensure that future investments in the Ohio River basin are guided by community knowledge to address the threats and challenges most important to constituents. After their conversation, the floor was opened for Q&A. This conversation took place on October 18, 2025 at the Ohio River Confluence (https://www.ohioriverway.org/2025-ohio-river-basin-confluence). For the first time, the Ohio River Basin Alliance, Kentucky Waterways Alliance, and the Ohio River Way held a special joint summit in place of their individual annual conferences. This event was co-hosted by the University of Louisville Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute, and Thomas More University. The Ohio River Basin Confluence Summit took place October 16-18, 2025, at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville. The Summit brought together advocates, professionals, and water leaders of all kinds to learn, plan, and build a diverse identity across our important river basin. On Truth to Power each week, we gather people from around the community to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else! Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://forwardradio.org

Bench Talk | CO2 Emissions Shift; Is It Important? - Three-Legged Horse - Night Sky | Nov. 3, 2025
Did you know that the earth broke a seven-year pattern in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere last year? Instead of increasing by 2.3 ppm per year (as it did from 2017 to 2023), CO2 levels in 2024 rose by 3.5 ppm! A 52% jump. Dave Robinson opines on the importance of the 'CO2 greenhouse effect' vs. land use management on climate disasters like storms, flooding, high temperatures, water scarcity, and sea level rise. Then, Leslie Moise introduces Rocky, the three-legged horse that has captured the world's attention. She reads a poem she wrote about Rocky and the people who are trying to help him. Finally, Scott Miller tells us about the planets, constellations and meteor showers we can see in the night sky in November. ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science’ is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

Truth to Power | Highlights from No Kings Louisville Protests | Hour 2 | 10-24-25
On this week’s Access Hour, we bring you highlights from the second hour of our live broadcast from the No Kings Louisville protest on the Belvedere on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Forward Radio was proud to be the only media providing live wall-to-wall coverage on the ground at the No Kings Louisville rally from 2-5pm on The Belvedere (https://nokings.org). On this day, we saw over 2600 protests across the country in all 50 states and in 18 other countries! Back in In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: No Kings. The world saw the power of the people, and President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power. Now, he’s doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy. Today millions of Americans are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. In addition to No Kings Louisville at the Belvedere, there were local protests at: 
• NO KINGS SOUTHERN INDIANA, 2:30-5pm, Warder Park, 109 E Court Ave, Jeffersonville, IN
 • NO KINGS Indivisible Crescent Hill, 3-4pm, 3751 Frankfort Ave, Saint Matthews, KY

Sustainability Now! | Jackie Green | Earth Home 40202 | 10-20-25
This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with one of Louisville’s legendary sustainability advocates, Jackie Green, to discuss his new venture, Earth Home 40202 (https://www.bikecourier.org/earth-home-40202/) Get in touch at earth.home.40202@gmail.com. We also discuss Deep Ecology Louisville - Exploring what it means to 'Live Local Lightly' in a society that is diametrically opposed to the concept (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581836699217). Earth Home 40202 is an urban* Louisville space in which to grow non-mystical deep ecologists. Building environmentally sustainable lifestyles requires community – it takes a village. Mainstream Louisville does not embrace ‘Live Local** Lightly’. Most are unaware of the term ‘deep ecology’ (see addendum below). Most are unaware of the term ’embodied energy’ – https://www.bikecourier.org/embodied-energy/. Few who know the term are ready to live a minimalist lifestyle. No, this is not the effort of communist luddites, not a commune, not a cult, just citizens attempting to live lightly on Earth. Earth Home 40202 is citizens striving to minimize material and energy*** consumption, to identify ‘green washing’, to garden**** more, to create more environmentally sensitive communities, to joyfully live Earth-centric lives. Earth Home 40202 is a work in progress. The concept has yet to be fully defined. Earth Home 40202 will be piloted in two Highland homes. Success will result in reduplicating the effort in a larger downtown space. Continued success will result in more Earth Homes. We need people to help define and develop the concept. * ? Why ‘urban’? If nature is to endure, humanity must not encroach on natural spaces. Sprawl is destroying agricultural land and nature. Urban living also encourages walking, cycling and public transit use. The embodied energy of automobiles and all the infrastructure supporting automobiles is unsustainable. ** ? Why the ‘local’ in ‘Live Local Lightly’? Travel is:… energy intensive, infrastructure demanding, deprives local community of members’ focus, investment, and care; hastens the evolution of climate change to climate chaos. Our personal travel experiences are not that important. We are needed at home. *** ? What is current energy production? One house hosts 16 solar panels. We have an option on using a property near UofL with 30 solar panels (8.5kW, 11,500kWh/yr, 2025 inverter). **** ? What gardening is done now? Current gardening includes a dozen grape vines, apple, cherry, peach and fig trees, a small vegetable plot, and a 25′ x 100′ micro forest. Deep ecology is an environmental philosophy and movement, founded by Arne Naess in the 1970s, that argues for the inherent worth and intrinsic value of all living beings and ecosystems, not just their utility to humans. It promotes a holistic worldview where humans are seen as an integral part of nature and emphasizes a radical transformation of our societal structures, technologies, and lifestyles to reduce human impact and allow the richness and diversity of life to flourish. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

Truth to Power | Erin Lin | The Legacy of War in Cambodia | 10-17-25
On this week's show, we bring you a community conversation inspired by the book "When the Bombs Stopped: The Legacy of War in Cambodia." On September 25, 2025, the University of Louisville's Center for Asian Democracy hosted this guest lecture by Dr. Erin Lin from the Department of Political Science at the Ohio State University. Undetonated bombs from the Cambodian campaign of the American War in Vietnam, which ended more than fifty years ago, still affect Cambodian farmers and their land. Dr. Lin’s research spotlights the contemporary agricultural implications of unexploded ordinance. Her research topics include legacies of war, economic development, agriculture, and genocide.
