🎉 Bay-Delta Flows Coalition Celebrates a Successful Day of Advocacy in Sacramento!
First and foremost, thank you to the incredible organizations that joined us and helped make this day possible: Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians San Francisco Baykeeper Friends of the River California Sportfishing Protection Alliance Yosemite Rivers Alliance Sierra Club California Resource Renewal Institute (RRI) Golden State Salmon Association Defenders of Wildlife Los Angeles Waterkeeper Women for Wolves

Yesterday, more than 40 volunteers from across California came together for a Day of Advocacy for the Delta, participating in over 60 meetings with legislative offices.

Tribes, environmental justice organizations, fishing groups, and environmental advocates joined forces to speak up for Delta communities, the environment, and our economy.

Together, we advocated for:
💧 The California Water Renaissance Plan - investing in sustainable local water supplies instead of expensive, unreliable water imports💧 AB 2218 - addressing historical water inequities impacting California Tribes
💧 SB 872 - investing in Delta levees and critical infrastructure that protects communities and water supplies

We also voiced opposition to:
⚠️ AB 2026, which deepens water system inequities and lacks protections for the Delta
⚠️ AB 2215, which fast-tracks permitting for the controversial Delta Conveyance Project while bypassing environmental review

We're incredibly proud of this coalition and the broad community support shown for common-sense water solutions that California urgently needs.

🌊 This year, Restore the Delta is proud to announce that our 20 Years of Turning the Tide Benefit will be hosted The Willow Ballroom & Event Center in Hood, CA!

Hood has always been a crucial part of the Delta, shaped by agriculture, waterways, and generations of Delta families. So when it came time to choose where to celebrate Restore the Delta’s 20th anniversary, we knew the perfect location to reflect the communities we serve right here in the Delta.

Last week, a coalition of environmental, Tribal, and fishing organizations called for a “Water Renaissance” focused on local water solutions like stormwater capture, water recycling, and groundwater cleanup.

Supporters say these investments would provide more reliable water at a fraction of the cost of the proposed Delta Tunnel project, which could cost up to $100 billion.

The Water Renaissance Plan continues to gain momentum, with about 20 additional organizations endorsing a more sustainable and affordable approach to California water management.
