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.
