SUMMARY:Rumble on the River #29
DESCRIPTION:RIGGED FOR RUIN: Methane\, An Accelerating Threat To Health & Climate.\n \nFor the past two decades communities in the Northwest have defeated methane gas export terminals. Despite these successes\, the “natural” gas industry continues to push their product. Come learn about methane’s many harms and alternatives to its use—such as thermal heat networks. Discussion will include environmental\, climate and health impacts\, the damage dealt to communities\, and the rampant greenwashing of this questionable energy source.

The letter will be delivered to Mayor Wilson\, Portland City Council\, and City Manager. Raymond C. Lee III. \nAmong other things\, the letter urges the City Council to vote for proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code that would halt the expansion of flammable\, combustible and toxic materials on the seismically unstable land of the Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub.  \nIn part\, the letter states: \n“Public input on decisions regarding our safety and health is vital in mitigating and preventing further damage to the well being of our communities and natural environment.  \nWe\, the undersigned Portland Neighborhood Associations and community and faith based organizations therefore support the following: \n\nThe City adopt a policy that any economic development must not increase the dangers at the CEI Hub. \nThe City of Portland’s CEI Hub Policy Project (to amend the Comprehensive Plan and zoning code) should include all types of fuels or materials that are combustible\, flammable or toxic to reduce risks at the Hub.\nThe Comprehensive Plan must prohibit new or expanded storage or transport of any type* of fuels or materials at the CEI Hub that are combustible\, flammable\, or toxic on soils deemed vulnerable to lateral spread due to liquefaction from earthquake shaking.\nThe Comprehensive Plan must prohibit development at the CEI Hub that would lead Portland to become a national or international export hub for combustible\, flammable\, or toxic materials. \nThe City work with local and state officials and agencies to develop and fully resource and fund the capacity to respond to emergencies at the CEI Hub. \n\nWe are looking to our city government to lead the transition to a safer environment for all of us.”  \nSignatories: \nNeighborhood Associations\nAlameda Neighborhood Association\nArbor Lodge Neighborhood Association\nArlington Heights Neighborhood Association\nArnold Creek Neighborhood Association\nAshcreek-Crestwood Neighborhood Association\nBoise Neighborhood Association\nBridgeton Neighborhood Association\nBridgeton Neighborhood Association Clean and Green Team\nBrooklyn Action Corps\nBuckman Neighborhood Association\nCathedral Park Neighborhood Association\nDowntown Neighborhood Association\nEast Columbia Neighborhood Association\nFoster Powell Neighborhood Association\nGrant Park Neighborhood Association\nGoose Hollow Neighborhood Association\nHayhurst Neighborhood Association\nHazelwood Neighborhood Association\nHillsdale Neighborhood Association\nHillside Neighborhood Association\nIrvington Neighborhood Association\nKenton Neighborhood Association\nKerns Neighborhood Association\nLaurelhurst Neighborhood Association\nLinnton Neighborhood Association\nLloyd EcoDistrict\nMadison Neighborhood Association\nMaplewood Neighborhood Association\nMultnomah Neighborhood Association\nMt.

SUMMARY:Wyden Town Hall - Wasco County 3/31 at 12 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Senator Ron Wyden is hosting a town hall in Wasco County on March 31\nHave you heard about the proposed public-land giveaway of 150-acres in the Mount Hood National Forest? Now is your chance to urge Senator Wyden to oppose this public land giveaway. \n\nWhat: Wyden Town Hall – Wasco County \nWhen: March 31\, 2026 at 12 p.m.\nWhere: Fort Dalles Readiness Center 402 E Scenic Dr.\, The Dalles\, OR\nWhy: Tell Senator Wyden: No Mt.

SUMMARY:Invitation to Visit Pushpum
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 8 for a rare opportunity to see the site of the proposed Goldendale Pumped Storage development that threatens to destroy sacred Tribal lands \nKnown to the Yakama Nation as “mother of all roots\,” Pushpum is a sacred site for Yakama Nation ceremonies\, legends\, and gathering of traditional roots and medicines. Rye Development proposes to permanently destroy Pushpum by building the Goldendale Pumped Storage development\, the largest such development proposal in the Pacific Northwest. \nThe Washington Department of Ecology and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) both concluded that the development of Goldendale Pumped Storage would have “unique significant and unavoidable adverse impacts on Tribal communities and members.” Yet they still recommended that the development move forward. FERC Commissioners approved the final license for the development in January 2026\, though opposition continues. \nNow\, for the first time\, Yakama Nation has secured landowner approval to hold an event near the proposed pumped-storage site. Yakama Nation\, led by members of the Rock Creek Band\, is leading a public event on Friday\, May 8 that will include speakers and ceremonies.  \nWHERE: 1140 Goldendale Goodnoe Hills Road #1032\, Goldendale\, WA 98620 \nWHEN: Friday\, May 8\, 2026\, from 10:30 a.m. to approximately 2:30 p.m.  \nAGENDA:  \n\n10:30 a.m. Invocation and welcome\n11:00 a.m. Elected officials and cultural leader speakers\n12:00 p.m. Complimentary salmon lunch with pre-registration via Eventbrite\n1:00 p.m. Cultural and traditional tribal social dances\n2:30 p.m. Event concludes\n\nREGISTRATION:  \n\nPlease register using this Eventbrite link.

SUMMARY:Virtual Public Meeting: Support New Oregon Dept. of Energy Rule
DESCRIPTION:On May 15\, 2026\, the Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC) will consider whether to move a new rule update forward proposed by the Oregon Dept. of Energy (ODOE). The new rule proposes changes and fee increases for truck and rail carriers of radioactive material through the state. Fee increases would support emergency preparedness response. \nWhy: Columbia Riverkeeper actively participated in the Rulemaking Advisory Committee (RAC)\, one of the only representatives not associated with the trucking or rail industry\, where we advocated for increased reporting\, fees on rail carriers\, and increased Tribal notification. Read our comments here. \nOverall\, we are very supportive of ODOE’s fee increase and of the inclusion of rail carriers\, despite industry pushback. Shipments of nuclear waste from the Hanford Nuclear Site are expected to increase exponentially as tank operations advance. Somewhere between 60 to 110 shipments per year are expected to originate just from the 200 West project alone. In comparison\, from 2023 to 2024\, the Oregon Dept. of Transportation reported a total of 349 radioactive shipments through the state. Read the draft rule\, RAC comments\, and ODOE responses here. \nThere will be an opportunity for public comment at the May 15 virtual meeting. Join us in supporting ODOE’s proposed rule. If EFSC moves the rule forward\, there will be a 49-day public comment period and public hearing. \nWhen: Friday\, May 15\, 2026 @ 8:30 a.m. PDT \nOnline: Join on your computer\, mobile app or room device \nRSVP: Not required  \nClick here to join the meeting via Webex

SUMMARY:Webinar 6/12: Collision Course –  Hanford Cleanup\, Nuclear Energy\, and Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:A 60-minute webinar in which we will explore the myth of nuclear reprocessing\, why adding new nuclear to the Hanford Nuclear Site is a bad idea\, and how the parasitic nature of nuclear energy and data centers are creating a new wave of environmental justice burdens falling squarely on the shoulders Indigenous frontline communities.\nRSVP below. We’ll send you a Zoom link and reminders. *Note: Even if you can’t attend live\, sign up\, and we will send you a video recording after the event. \n \n\nModerator: Lauren Goldberg\, Executive Director Columbia Riverkeeper \nPanelists:  \n\n\n\nKrystal Two Bulls\, Executive Director\, Honor the Earth- Krystal is an Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne grassroots organizer with experience on the frontlines doing campaign development and management around social\, racial and environmental justice. Krystal’s identity as a Native American veteran is central to her organizing and storytelling. At the heart of Krystal’s work is Sovereignty\, LANDBACK\, cross movement relationship building and a deep commitment to her People. In healing from her experience as a veteran\, Krystal has dedicated herself to embodying what she views as the essential quality of a warrior: a commitment to the well-being of not only her People and their relationship to the land\, but that of all Peoples.\n\n\n\n\nArjun Makhijani\, President\, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research -holds a Ph.D. in engineering (specialization: nuclear fusion) from the University of California at Berkeley.
