In this episode, Sam Krop and Andrew Collins-Anderson interview Allie Rosenbluth who is the Campaigns Director for the Southern Oregon-based climate justice organization, Rogue Climate. Allie shares her experiences working with the powerful grassroots coalition resisting the Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export terminal and fracked gas pipeline. If built, the Jordan Cove LNG export project would be the largest single source of climate pollution in Oregon.
Allie recounts the history of the grassroots fight to stop the project, the recent win with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) upholding the ODEQ’s denial of a key Clean Water Act permit and how folks can engage in current actions to stop the project.
Allie shares moving stories from experiencing industry funded state surveillance to this project’s connections to pipeline resistance movements across the US. In addition, Allie recounts how Rogue Climate experienced the climate crisis firsthand when their office burned along with 3,000 other structures in the Almeda Fire this September. Learn more and support Rogue Climate as they work towards a just rebuilding of the communities impacted by the Almeda Fire while confronting the climate crisis.
