Today on Sojourner Truth, we kick off our 2020 Election Watch series. We get updates and analysis from Alan Minsky, Executive Director of the Progressive Democrats of America.
Wednesday, March 11, marked the nine-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, triggering the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. We speak with Arnie Gundersen, an energy advisor with almost 50 years of nuclear power engineering experience. He is the chief engineer of Fairewinds Energy Education and a former nuclear industry senior vice president. He earned his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in nuclear engineering, holds a nuclear safety patent, and was a licensed reactor operator. During his nuclear industry career, Arnie managed and coordinated projects at 70-nuclear power plants around the country.
For our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Josey Tenorio Peyestewa, a Hopi descendant born in Third Mesa Hotevilla, Arizona and raised in Los Angeles, California. She is an Advocate for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. She organizes Prayer Runs through many states asking for justice for our sisters and brothers who have been murdered. Josey also raises awareness for our Missing Women and Men and Man Camps and Human Trafficking.
