PacifiCorp Blockaded Over Klamath Dams
Oct 2nd, 2008
This story is a little dated but we only just heard about it and wanted to bring it to you anyway. On Sep. 18, 200 people including indigenous people, fishermen, local residents, environmentalists and members of groups including the American Indian Movement and Rising Tide marched in Portland, OR, to demand the removal of PacifiCorp’s four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River. After a press conference, 70 people blockaded the entrance to PacifiCorp headquarters, pounding on the doors and disrupting business. There were no arrests.
The same day, a solidarity banner was hung across I-84.
