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. Hood public land giveaway to benefit data centers \n\nLearn more about the issue here. \nColumbia Riverkeeper is part of a coalition of nonprofits who are calling on Senator Ron Wyden to oppose HR 655\, a bill that would transfer roughly 150 acres of public land from the Mount Hood National Forest to the City of The Dalles\, where data centers are causing energy and water demands to skyrocket. \nHR 655 passed in the House of Representatives in December\, and is now before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee\, where Senator Wyden is a committee member. \nSenator Wyden needs to hear from you to stop this public-land giveaway designed to skirt critical environmental and stakeholder engagement laws. \nNOTE: For everyone’s security\, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed in the town halls. Similar to major sporting events\, there is a clear bag policy for town halls\, allowing only clear bags (max 12″x 6″x12″)\, one-gallon clear plastic bags\, or small clutches (max 4.5″x 6.5″)\, plus essential items like medical bags or infant necessities\, with no storage for disallowed bags. Backpacks and non-clear bags are prohibited\, though medical/infant needs have exceptions. Doors will open one hour before the town hall start time for attendees.

SUMMARY:Rumble on the River #30
DESCRIPTION:Rumble #30: What is the Deal with Data Centers – Episode 2\n \nLike the springtime emergence of invasive plants\, data centers appear to be cropping up everywhere.

Rumbles bring together expert voices to discuss a range of environmental and social topics. These have included the Columbia & Willamette River ecosystems\, transportation\, false climate solutions\, urban forestry\, shade equity\, risk-bonding\, salmon restoration\, the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund and the Western Hemisphere’s most toxic site–Hanford. A recurring Rumble focus has been the Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub and the potential hazards of having 90 percent of Oregon’s fuel and a dangerous mix of chemicals stored within Portland’s city limits on a riverside seismic liquefaction zone. \n  \nRUMBLE CO-SPONSORS \n\n350 PDX \nAlliance for Democracy \nArbor Lodge Neighborhood Association\nBird Alliance of Oregon \nBraided River Campaign \nBreach Collective \nCathedral Park Neighborhood Association \nColumbia Riverkeeper \nCommunity for Earth/First Unitarian Portland \nCully Association of Neighbors \nEcoFaith Recovery \nEconomic Justice Action Group/First Unitarian Portland\nExtinction Rebellion-PDX \nFrog Ferry \nHavurah Climate Action Team \nHuman Access Project \nKBOO Radio 90.7 \nKenton Neighborhood Association \nLinnton Neighborhood Association \nMosquito Fleet \nMt Tabor Neighborhood Association \nNeighbors for Clean Air \nNo More Freeways \nOPAL\, Environmental Justice Oregon \nOregon Chapter of the Sierra Club \nOregon Conservancy Foundation \nOregon Physicians for Social Responsibility \nPearl District Neighborhood Association \nP.E.S.T.
