This morning at 8:20 local activists hung a banner over Interstate-84 in solidarity with tribes of the Klamath River, who have called for a Day of Action against Pacificorp, which has stalled the removal of its four outmoded dams, which are choking life from the waters and communities of the Klamath Watershed. Warren Buffet, the owner and wealthiest person on the planet, has repeatedly refused to remove the dams—disregarding indefensible costs to the environment, as well as the cultural, physical, and economic wellbeing of indigenous, agricultural, and other local communities in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Not only do the dams prevents salmon from spawning upriver, but they have also brought about large growths of algae toxic to fish, plants, and humans.
The Day of Action will revolve around a march and rally to begin at Holladay Park (NE 11th & Multnomah) today at noon. For more information on issues surrounding dam removal or the Day of Action, try visiting the Klamath Riverkeeper website @ www.klamathriver.org or contact Craig Tucker at 916-207-8294 or  ctucker@karuk.us
