April 29: Protect the Columbia from Coal, Oil, and Methanol Export

Communities along the Columbia River are key to our climate future.

Residents of Longview, Vancouver, Kalama, Washington, are pushing back against the dirty fossil fuel industry and protecting their community and our climate. You’re invited to join them on April 29th in Kalama, Washington.  

Join friends and neighbors on April 29th to show your support for our river, our air, and our community. On this day, hundreds of thousands of people will come together in cities across the nation – including Washington DC – to make it clear that our future will ensure clean air, water and a stable climate for future generations. You don’t have to go to DC to participate, your local community needs you here.
