The River Activist Network empowers volunteers to understand California’s water issues, share ideas, and stand up for their rivers and communities. Becoming an advocate is not only about helping rivers—it’s about being a voice for our planet, shaping a stronger and more resilient future for California’s waterways.
With your support, we can work together to restore flows where excessive diversions reduce flows, to improve hydropower operations to benefit people and fish, to fight destructive reservoirs, and to strengthen river protections.
Friends of the River
Committed to becoming a more powerful voice for a climate resilient water future in California with healthy rivers, equal access to safe and affordable drinking water, and a thriving, sustainable economy for all Californians.
Friends of the River works not just to preserve our rivers, but to change how people think about them—not as a resource to be exploited, but as a treasure to be enjoyed.
