From the Save Our Wild Salmon Website:
Healthy rivers and salmon are vital to our way of life in the Pacific Northwest, but Columbia Basin salmon, steelhead, and other native fish are in crisis.
“Most wild salmon and steelhead runs persist at a fraction of their historic abundance and geographic distribution, and some (including three of five in the Snake River) persist at less than one percent of their historic abundance” (Source)
Regional Tribes have led important comprehensive and collaborative progress to recover imperiled salmon populations, but salmon recovery efforts and goals are under attack:
Our region’s future is at stake, and our advocacy is more important now than ever.
Join us in taking collective action to protect salmon and defend the historic progress made towards salmon recovery by attending our monthly virtual salmon advocacy action hours.
October Action Hours: Tuesday, October 28, 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. PT
November Action Hours: Tuesday, November 18th, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. PT
Where: Zoom (RSVP for October here)
These action hours will be an opportunity for you to hear updates from experts on issues impacting salmon recovery and the health of the Columbia/Snake Rivers, ask questions, and, most importantly, get resources and information about how you can take action.
We will provide resources and support for all levels of salmon advocates, whether you want to take quick online action, like contacting your representative or submitting a public comment, or spend more time on your advocacy by writing a letter to the editor or hosting a postcard-writing party.
