As the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission prepares their annual budget for a Board of Supervisors vote in June, we invite you to stand with the river! Join our rally to send a powerful message: The people want sustainable water policies that protect the environment, frontline communities, tribes, commercial and recreational fishing communities, and ratepayers.
Low flows along the Tuolumne River contribute to the decline of salmon populations, destroy Indigenous lifeways, create toxic algae blooms, and disrupt the food chain and cycle of life in the SF Bay-Delta and beyond. Excessive water storage, skyrocketing water rates, and low river flows are not the answer. With taxpayer water rates poised to rise and river flows diminishing, we encourage SFPUC to take the next steps towards a more sustainable community, economy and river ecosystem.
Please register to attend! We are looking for motivated citizens like you to join us.
