Don't let House Republicans undermine salmon recovery efforts!

Hey John,
The four lower Snake River dams have turned what was once the most productive salmon fishery in the continental US, the Columbia River Basin, into an inhospitable home with salmon populations
hovering near extinction on the Endangered Species Act.
Finally, after decades of advocacy lead by local Tribes, the states of Washington and Oregon, and nonprofit partners, the Biden Administration made a historic agreement in December of
2023 to restore salmon populations and honor Tribal obligations. This includes a $300 million commitment from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) - the federal agency that markets
and distributes the electricity generated by the Snake River dams - for fish restoration projects.
But these commitments are in jeopardy due to efforts by House Republicans to block salmon recovery efforts.

We’re fighting to ensure Congress maintains this $300 million commitment from the BPA in this year’s Energy & Water Appropriations bill currently moving through the House and Senate.
Thanks to leadership from Washington’s Senator Patty Murray, the Senate version of the bill follows through on this commitment from the Biden Administration and BPA. Unfortunately, the
House version of this bill includes “poison pill” language that would drastically limit this critical BPA funding, despite recent federal analysis acknowledging the moral and legal
responsibility to address historic and ongoing impacts to Tribes in the Columbia River Basin.
Stop the Poison Pill: Take Action Now! <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=436af30a3bfba5816a2831a8665c479c260f9d4f2a23adb6dd79cb3e8d3584ca848f61908df84f6440c71017444f5685a4052f2137b430aa>
Urge Congress to oppose the “poison pill” language of the House version and support the Senate’s proposal for higher funding to restore historic salmon runs!
Thank you for all that you do for the environment!
