Transforming Portland's Relationship with the Willamette River. We do The Big Float & River Hugger Swim, opened Poet’s, Audrey McCall Beaches & Duckworth Dock.
@RapidResponse47@SenJeffMerkley Sorry to share Portland is peaceful and happy. Thanks to our friends at Portland Fire and Rescue for helping us celebrate World Rivers Day on Sunday.
It was great to meet with representatives from the Human Access Project and Portland Parks and Rec and learn more about their efforts to strengthen the relationship between the Willamette River and Portlanders.
THE BIG FLOAT IS BACK!
TBF X will be the 10 year anniversary and FINAL installment of the float.
Admission is only $6 through 5/31!

Here's a look at this years Valentine’s Dip @ Willamette Park Boat Ramp. This event raises attention to the much-improved Willamette River water quality in Portland. Tune into @KOINNews tonight for more on the DIP!
@TheBigFloat #willametteriver#cleanwater
Thanks for all who came out to the 3rd annual Valentine’s Dip.
160 people ran into 44 degree water to celebrate 180 consecutive days (and counting) of no combined sewer overflow in our city.
An awesome milestone. Super fun day - great vibes.
💦 Don't miss @TheBigFloat on Saturday! We're proud to sponsor Portland's biggest parade/beach party/float to benefit #HumanAccessProject, dedicated to connecting the #community with our beloved Willamette River. https://t.co/G1h9PDjdq6 #Thrive#TheBigFloat2019
Big news in the climate world today.... let’s keep getting better at taking care of our planet!! Join us Saturday for #thebigfloat to show your support for the cleanup & restoration of our river - a uniting force for change!! #ClimateCrisis#climatejustice#TakeAction
Today I introduced legislation with @AOC and @repblumenauer to declare climate change as a national emergency.
And not only is it that—it is a GLOBAL emergency. And we have less than 12 years to take real action.
We must have the courage to stand up to the fossil fuel industry.
Thanks for showing up & improving the vibrancy & livability of our communities @WasteManagement ! Cleanup is vital work we do together!! See you Saturday!
The countdown is on! Again this year, @wastemanagement families will take to the Willamette River to celebrate stewardship & safety @TheBigFloat. Why do we do it? It's part of WM's commitment to vibrant, livable communities for @PortlandBPS@OregonMetro. See you Saturday!
Thanks for tuning in @KGWNews ! We’re glad to be broadening the discussion. Now lets talk about why, and remind everyone that over 100 people and @tedwheeler swam across the river last night for our annual #mayoralswim. Time to dispel those old beliefs about the Willamette 😊
