Tell Congress: Protect Drinking Water for over 1.3 million Oregonians!
The River Democracy Act would provide increased safeguards to drinking water for over 1.3 million Oregonians. Tell your members of Congress to advance this critical legislation to protect the fish, wildlife, and local communities that rely on these waters!
Oregon’s rivers not only provide countless recreational opportunities, but also serve as the primary source of drinking water for a significant portion of our population. Clean water is fundamental to human health, the sustainability of local communities, and the strength of our economies.
The River Democracy Act is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect thousands of miles of these streams, ensuring clean drinking water, healthy fish and wildlife habitat, and abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation, as well as all the other important values our rivers provide.
Over 1.3 million Oregonians rely on drinking water from streams that are included in the River Democracy Act. This includes communities all across the state, such as Clackamas County, Eugene-Springfield, Bend, Medford, and others.
It’s time to permanently protect these streams and the communities that depend on them.
And with all the ongoing threats to our cherished public lands and waters from Congress and the Trump administration, it is now more important than ever to defend our rivers, forests, and special places.
Tell your members of Congress to pass the River Democracy Act and safeguard our treasured waterways and drinking water sources for yourself, your neighbors, and 1.3 million other Oregonians across the state!
