Dear John,

Today, American Rivers is joining members of the Karuk, Yurok, Klamath and Hoopa Valley Tribes, fishermen, Klamath river users, and conservation organizations to support a day of action for the Klamath River.

We are calling on PacifiCorp and parent company Berkshire Hathaway to keep their promise to remove their four dams on the Klamath. Will you join us?

Send your letter to PacifiCorp and Berkshire Hathaway today.

For more than 100 years, four dams – Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate and JC Boyle – have blocked salmon from 420 miles of habitat and spawning areas. They create toxic outbreaks of cyanobacteria, which can be deadly for people, pets, fish and wildlife. These dams have devastated what was once the third largest salmon-producing river on the West Coast, and a vital resource for Native American tribes.

Removing these dams matters. It matters for the people who live along the river. It matters for the salmon and steelhead that need clean water and access to habitat. And, it should matter to PacifiCorp to permanently remove liabilities that will require expensive water quality improvements and fish passage facilities if the dams are not removed.

Please speak up today and help us restore a healthy, free-flowing Klamath River.

For the rivers,

Thank you,
