Greetings,


Summer has quietly turned to autumn here in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the country. This change in weather, though, has not slowed the pace of events in the Columbia & Snake Rivers Campaign.

On Thursday, October 8th, salmon and fishing communities, along with the State of Oregon and the Nez Perce Tribe, filed a response to the Obama administration's decision to stick with the failed policies of previous administrations. Read the recent press statement.

A crucial decision on the future of wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia and Snake Rivers now faces Judge James Redden. The future of this national treasure also rests in our collective ability to mobilize, to raise awareness, to take action, to build and show the broad support for solutions on the Snake River that can recover salmon, restore a river, rebuild jobs, revitalize local communities, and save taxpayers dollars.
