You are making a difference. You are prevailing over fossil fuel export, pushing for Hanford cleanup, and building diverse coalitions. Together we are fighting for clean water.

Your support in 2015 powered these accomplishments on the fossil fuel front:

  • Portland passed a landmark Fossil Fuel Resolution: The policy opposes the expansion new fossil fuel projects like coal, oil, and propane terminals, and toward a clean energy future.

  • Oil refinery plans exposed: Our crack legal team exposed plans to build the first new West Coast oil refinery in 25 years, and we are mobilizing to stop it.
  • Oregon shut the door on coal export: In the beginning, there were six coal export terminals. After a big victory in Oregon, two remain. We are focusing on the Millennium coal proposal in Longview, WA, and helping Lummi Nation allies fight coal in Cherry Point, WA.
  • The Estuary is LNG-free for 10 years: In May, over 600 Oregonians on the steps of Oregon’s Capitol cheered a fiery speech by Waterkeeper Alliance President Robert F. Kennedy Jr. LNG export calling on Oregon Governor Brown to “Say No to LNG in Oregon!”

Together we are challenging plans to turn the Columbia into a fossil fuel highway, and we are winning! Take a stand for clean water today by supporting legal work and community organizing for 2016. Donate today!
