Tell our reps: Pass the Wild Olympics Wilderness and Wild, Scenic Rivers Act
Only the full, statutory protections of Senator Murray’s and Rep. Kilmer’s historic Wild Olympics Wilderness & Wild & Scenic Rivers Act will truly protect our clean water and salmon streams against the extreme threats of Project 2025.

If you haven’t done so yet, please donate to the Wild Olympics Campaign and contact both WA Senators to urge them to keep up the fight to pass Wild Olympics this year.
