“This river is our family history. When the current returned, it felt like our voice finally carried.”

When the river ran free again
Leah grew up hearing her grandparents talk about salmon runs that felt endless. Then the runs thinned. Four dams on the Lower Snake River made the journey harder and the stories shorter. CrowdFlow voters backed the people doing the work on the ground. Tribal leaders organized. Scientists built the record. Legal teams pushed the issue forward. Leah’s community showed up again and again. The result was real momentum toward restoration and a path for salmon to return. This is what it looks like when a community chooses a plan and funds it.
