We have a historic opportunity to save salmon and orca with the comprehensive report being developed by Gov. Inslee and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray to look at what it would take 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 processional 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.

Doors open at 10, speakers at 11:

• Kristopher Peters, Tribal Chairman, Squaxin Island Tribe
• Les Purce, past chair of the Orca Task Force – Invited
• Lisa Parshley, Olympia City Council Member
• Rabbi Seth Goldstein, Olympia’s Temple Beth Hatfiloh
• Owen Begley-Collier, 16-year conservationist, Snake River Savers
• Rein Attemann, event emcee, Puget Sound Campaign Manager, Washington Environmental Council

At the event, please consider adding your voice to our short video testimonials to say why you care about removing the lower Snake River dams or why this moment is so urgent.  We have a professional videographer waiting to record your 10-second testimonial. Masks will be available at the event and are encouraged!
