Please take this opportunity to thank Governor Brown for her leadership in calling for Lower Snake River dam removal.
Good News: Governor Brown Calls for Lower Snake River Dam Removal
You spoke up for salmon, orcas, and clean water. And our leaders are starting to listen!
Last week, Oregon Governor Kate Brown called for the removal of four dams on the Lower Snake River to help salmon, orcas, and fishing communities. Please take a moment to thank Governor Brown for her leadership.
Scientists have been talking about Snake River Dam removal for decades. We know that removing these four dams is the centerpiece of any serious effort to prevent the extinction of Snake River salmon and Southern Resident orcas. And studies show that we can remove these dams without resorting to dirty fossil fuels or breaking the bank.
Thanks to people like you, we have an historic opportunity to remove these dams and bring back our fish. It won’t be easy, but Snake River dam removal is gaining momentum. Elected leaders from Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are all publicly questioning the status quo and beginning to ask how (not if) to remove these dams.
Together, we can have a future that includes clean water and lots of salmon.
Oregon salmon, orcas, and fishing communities appreciate Governor Brown's leadership now more than ever.
