STOP SALMON EXTINCTION: FREE THE SNAKE RIVER RALLY & MARCH

April 2, 2022 @ 10:00 am-1:00 pm

Stop Salmon Extenction: Free The Snake River Rally

Black Hills Audubon is a co-sponsor of this rally and march. This is an historic opportunity to save salmon and orca with the comprehensive plan being developed by Gov. Inslee and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray to replace the services of the lower Snake River dams. Now we must demonstrate to Inslee and Murray that there is strong support for removing the dams. Their final decision will be made by July 31, 2022. By removing the dams, we will be honoring tribal treaty rights that have been ignored for decades.

Join us for inspiring speakers, help us create short video testimonials for social media, and then join us for a procession to the Capitol Campus for lunch and the Human Orca Mural. Gov. Inslee will be invited to greet us. Procession led by the Artesian Rumble Arkestra & food by Nineveh.
