Rally for Salmon This Saturday
Join environmentalists, tribal leaders, and concerned citizens at Portland’s Willamette Park this Saturday, June 25, from 10:00am to 3:00pm for a Rally for Salmon.
The event is planned to demonstrate support for protecting salmon and orcas—salmon, the main food source of orcas, are dying and at extreme risk—and to call attention to the urgent need to take action now. The best way to restore salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest is to breach four dams on the lower Snake River (see below). The goal of Saturday’s rally is to demonstrate strong public support for including lower Snake River dam removal in the comprehensive regional salmon restoration plan due by or before July 31. More details can be found at this link. To volunteer to help at the event, go here. Willamette Park is located at 6500 SW Macadam Avenue.
