American Rivers' monthly e-newsletter, The Current
November 2020
Dear John,
Rivers are a source of life and hope — even when the challenges seem impossible
to overcome. Need proof? Look at the Klamath River, where we just hit a major
milestone toward achieving one of the most significant river restoration
projects the world has ever seen. Removing four massive dams on this river will
revive salmon and clean water, and begin to address generations of injustice
perpetrated against Indigenous Peoples, who hold the Klamath sacred.
While our country faces serious challenges, the wins you’ll read about below
prove that water can bring people together, even in our polarized times. No
matter what state you live in, water flows in your rivers — and that should not
be a partisan issue.
Reflecting on our achievements this year, we have a lot to be grateful for.
Mostly we’re thankful for you — our supporters, friends and partners, who stand
with us every day, as we work for a future of clean water and healthy rivers
everywhere, for everyone.
Amy Kober

free-flowing. Read our report from the banks of the Gallatin River.
