VISION
Braided River Campaign was founded in 2021 responding to centuries of industrial degradation and displacement in the Portland Harbor.
We seek to realize a green working waterfront on the lower Willamette River through community-driven land use processes.
Throughout our work, we advocate for solutions to the climate crisis, systemic racism and the health impacts of sacrificial zoning.
MISSION
To create a green working waterfront in Portland with active community participation.
To change land use law and planning policies by empowering people to participate in the decisions that impact their health, safety, and economic wellbeing.
To elect candidates for local and state office who support our vision and live our values.
VALUES
We must acknowledge and repair historical harm to successfully move forward.
Natural resource conservation is essential to healthy communities.
All people have the right to a safe and healthy environment. No one community is sacrificed for the benefit of another.
A thriving economy is best built within the context of a healthy environment.
The interconnectedness of regional ecological and economic systems allows us to understand that the roots of our collective good, or harm, reach wide. Decisions made in the Portland Harbor extend regionally and globally.
