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.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WITHDRAWS FROM RCBA
The Trump administration just pulled out of the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement (RCBA), an historic collaboration between Columbia Basin Tribes, the states of Washington and Oregon, and the federal government. Urge your Members of Congress to support Columbia Basin salmon restoration and secure a future for the Northwest.
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 just pulled out of the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement (RCBA), an historic agreement between Columbia Basin Tribes, the states of Washington and Oregon, and the federal government. This agreement offered our best chance in decades to recover endangered salmon and steelhead, invest in affordable clean energy, and uphold Tribal treaty rights. However, the Columbia Basin Restoration Initiative endures, and it needs your support.
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY SEPTEMBER 1, 2025!
Trump Administration Abandons Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement
WHY YOUR COMMENTS MATTER:
Abandoning the RCBA means:
Continued decline in wild salmon and steelhead runs — at the expense of Tribes, recreational fishing, and rural communities.
More taxpayer money wasted on maintaining failing dam infrastructure.
Stalling development of a cleaner, more resilient energy system for the Northwest, along with associated job opportunities.
Broken promises to Northwest Tribes — whose rights, lands, and salmon life sources are again being dismissed.
Likely extinction of the Southern Resident orcas and a worsening biodiversity and climate crisis in one of the most ecologically important watersheds in North America.
Fortunately, this decision can’t stop us from acting with urgency to restore salmon, uphold Tribal sovereignty, and create a sustainable future for the Northwest.
