Clean Water
We work in solidarity with Tribes to restore clean water and healthy fish by reducing toxic pollution.
Climate Action
We use the law, community organizing, and creative communications to stop fossil fuel infrastructure and advocate for a just transition.
Healthy Communities
We engage people who live in river communities to advocate for environmental justice, including strong salmon runs.

Why the Columbia?
The Columbia River is the lifeblood of the Pacific Northwest. People depend on the Columbia for clean water, salmon, and much more.
How We Work
We partner with Tribes and unite people to advocate for environmental and climate justice. We use legal advocacy, community organizing, and education to:

Clean Water

Clean Up Hanford

Climate & Energy

Salmon Recovery

Science & Education
Take Action!
Speak up for salmon and Tribal rights! Tell your Senators and Representative not to turn back the clock on salmon recovery or undermine progress by States and Tribes.
