Why We're Taking Action:

On May 19th, 2023, California Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to suspend environmental laws in order to build new reservoirs, like the Sites Reservoir, and massive diversions, like the Delta Tunnel. This is not the first time Governor Newsom has favored industrial agriculture over California’s people and environment.

Salmon fishing has been shut down throughout the state, including Native communities, due to fish dying for many years from lack of water. The state and feds made the decision to divert water to farms and kill the salmon.

California is forcing our salmon into extinction, and denying people of color clean water and a healthy Delta and San Francisco Bay.

Why are they choosing export crops over people?

This is why we need to take action!
