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

The Trump administration recently pulled out of the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement (RCBA), a historic agreement 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. These commitments are now broken.

Fortunately, the Columbia Basin Restoration Initiative endures — a comprehensive strategy to restore salmon, steelhead, and other native fisheries to healthy and abundant levels based on regional abundance goals.

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!

We can’t afford to let federal decisions driven by politics erase our future. Let’s show up—together.

In solidarity,

ABOUT THE COLUMBIA SNAKE RIVER CAMPAIGN

The Columbia Snake River Campaign is a coalition of people, businesses, and organizations guided by local Tribes 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.
