TAKE ACTION NOW! SAVE OUR SALMON!

We can stop extinction, lead the largest river restoration in history, and honor the rights of tribes and Indigenous people who were promised abundant salmon by the United States in treaties. Get involved and stand with Northwest Tribes. Scroll down for our most urgent calls to action.

TELL CONGRESS TO OPPOSE H.R. 2073

H.R. 2073, the “Defending our Dams Act,” seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds to allow or study the breach of the lower Snake River dams, which is essential to Snake River salmon recovery. Tell your representatives oppose this bill! 

SUPPORT CRITICAL SALMON FUNDING

Federal funding is vital to ensuring Columbia and Snake River runs survive through measures like  increasing fish passage, improving water quality, addressing predation, and improving habitat, among others. Tell your representatives to support this crucial funding in the 2026 budget.

ATTEND THE R.U.N. CONFERENCE

Rise Up Northwest in Unity Convening (R.U.N.), is an annual two-day gathering focused on safeguarding the Northwest’s precious life sources—water, orcas, and salmon.

Join us for the next R.U.N. in Unity Convening on October 29 & 30, 2025 at the Portland Expo Center!

Make your voice heard—urge your representatives to stand with the Six Sovereigns and fund the Columbia Basin Restoration Initiative!

The Trump administration has pulled out of the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement (RCBA), an historic agreement between the federal government and the Six Sovereigns — i.e., the four Columbia Basin Tribes and the states of Washington and Oregon. This agreement offered our best chance in decades to recover endangered salmon and steelhead, invest in affordable clean energy, and uphold Tribal treaty rights. Now, these commitments are broken. However, the Columbia Basin Restoration Initiative endures, and it needs your support.

Federal funding is vital to protecting and restoring healthy and abundant Columbia Basin salmon and other native fisheries through measures such as increasing fish passage, improving water quality and stream flows, addressing predation, and improving habitat, among others. The Six Sovereigns have requested approximately $370 million in federal funding for such measures in 2025-2026.

Contact your representatives below to urge them to support this crucial funding!
