The Oxygen Collective biodiesel bus will be driving north from Southern Oregon to Portland for an important event on Aug 2nd that is part of the ongoing movement calling for the removal of destructive dams on the Klamath River. Both the ride and the rally will be high energy and inspiring opportunities to build community, speak up for the wild landscapes of the Klamath Siskiyou, and show solidarity with the tribes and other residents of the Klamath River at this crucial moment of historic opportunity!

Please join us in Ashland on the afternoon of Aug 1st to drive north, stay the night in Portland, and return the evening of the 2nd. We are accepting donations but none are required, and we will attempt to coordinate sleeping arrangements.

Please read about the event below and respond ASAP to Laurel@o2collective.org so we can confirm we have enough people to make this trip worthwhile.

Rally for the Klamath River Salmon!

Klamath River Tribes, fishermen, and citizens are fighting to remove PacifiCorp's Klamath dams and BRING THE SALMON HOME! Four dams are up for their 50 year re-licencing by FERC (Federal Energy Relicencing Commission). This is an opportunity of a life time to have these antiquated fish-blocking dams decommissioned and removed.

The fate of the dams is still under negotiation and Portland based PacifiCorp, the dams owner (Warren Buffet being the company's largest share holder) needs to hear from the people of the Klamath and all those who are supportive in person!
