UP TO 85 PERCENT OF ALL DAMS IN OUR COUNTRY ARE UNNECESSARY, HARMFUL, AND EVEN DANGEROUS. BECAUSE REMOVING A DAM IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPACTFUL WAY TO SECURE A RIVERS' FUTURE HEALTH, WE MUST REMOVE THOUSANDS OF THEM QUICKLY.

WE ARE PRIORITIZING REMOVING THE WORST 400 DAMS BY 2027 AND WILL KICKSTART THE REMOVAL OF 30,000 DAMS BY 2050. WE ALSO DRIVE NATIONAL SOLUTIONS TO FLOODING THAT PRIORITIZE COMMUNITIES' SAFETY, EQUITY, AND THE HEALTH OF RIVER HABITATS AND WILL RESTORE 20,000 ACRES OF FUNCTIONAL FLOODPLAINS BY 2027. IN ADDITION, WE WORK TO RESTORE CLEAN WATER BY WORKING IN CITIES TO CONNECT COMMUNITIES TO THEIR RIVERS AND WORK TO RESTORE HEALTHY RIVER FLOWS, HABITAT, AND ACCESS BY ENGAGING IN HYDROPOWER RELICENSING AND REFORM. 2105481 9500 142825 CHAMPION A POWERFUL RIVER MOVEMENT - WE CAN'T DO THIS WORK ALONE.
