Supporters & Advocates

People all across the Northwest and the country are standing up to take action before salmon, steelhead, and the orcas that eat them go extinct.

We are a coalition of people, businesses, and organizations who are calling for our elected leaders to stop salmon extinction by removing four dams on the lower Snake River, replacing their services, and investing in Northwest communities.

Stories

“If salmon fishing dried up or collapsed altogether, this is the very fabric of who we are as Indigenous people. We’re the people who have been here since time immemorial. For a millennia, we have been the keepers of this resource. And so to have that dissolve, is really to really break apart everything that makes us who we are.”

—Ashley Nicole Lewis, sportfisher

“We work hard each season to keep our businesses afloat. With each season that passes the possibility of us losing it all seems to grow closer. There is no shortage of tourists who want to experience all the Idaho backcountry has to offer, but there is a shortage of fish.”

—Matt Green, Idaho business owner

“Our families are connected. My family and yours. My hope is that we can continue coming together for real solutions that bring us all forward.”

—Lucinda George Simpson, Nez Perce Reservation matriarch and advocate

“We see firsthand and in real time the changes happening in the river and to so many of our tribe’s traditions and first foods. Salmon and steelhead numbers are declining, and with each season that passes that decline is felt in our community.”

—Alysia and Elke Littleleaf, Oregon river guiding business owners

“I am the daughter of migrant farmworkers and proud to be born and raised in eastern Washington. Like agriculture and clean energy, salmon are critical to our region’s economy and future.”

—Adanna Diaz-Escobar, Washington resident and advocate
