San Francisco

Rally for the River at SF City Hall

When: Tues, Apr 23, 12 pm - 1 pm
Where: San Francisco City Hall

Join the Sierra Club and our allies as we rally on the steps of San Francisco City Hall 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 toward a more sustainable community, economy, and river ecosystem.
