Rivers are a source of life and hope — even when the challenges seem impossible to overcome. Need proof? Look at the Klamath River, where thanks to the leadership of the Yurok and Karuk tribes, the states of Oregon and California and others, 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 where you live, you need clean water and healthy 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.
