In her first month as Oregon's governor, Kate Brown has taken an action opposed by over 80,000 Oregonians: directing the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) to move forward with giving away the public's water to Nestlé.



The process Governor Brown is forwarding is not the exchange of water use, as previously expected. This is a new application to transfer the water right to Oxbow Springs permanently from the ODFW to Cascade Locks, which would then sell the spring water to Nestlé.

Not only does this new application result in the permanent loss of Oxbow Springs water, but it also excludes a public interest review .

With this action, what message is Governor Brown sending to the people of Oregon? That our opinions, like our public water, simply don't matter.

If this is not what you want from our new governor, let Gov. Brown know. Call her right now at 503-378-4582, then plug in your ZIP code below to send a letter to Governor Brown and your state representative and senator.
