Restore the Delta

Nothing beats @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social pushing a $100 billion water tunnel that threatens ecosystems, tribal lands, and Delta communities.😊

Despite opposition from tribes, environmental groups, and locals, the state keeps releasing distractions like “accountability plans.”

🚨 BREAKING: Today, advocates for Delta communities, tribes, and environmental justice denounced the Newsom Administration’s “Delta Conveyance Accountability Action Plan”.

Excluding communities & pushing destructive policies has become too familiar, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social.

The Delta is rich because we have YOU! 🫶

Together, we are a powerful voice for Delta communities, ecosystems, and future generations. Let’s keep showing @governor.ca.gov that we will continue speaking out against harmful projects like the Delta Tunnel.

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

The Delta Tunnel would be built just 1 mile from the Cosumnes River Preserve, an eBird hotspot. Case-in-chief testimony from experts says DWR’s data is unreliable & warns the project would harm bird & fish habitat in this critical part of the Delta.

@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social

Restore the Delta, alongside scientific and economic experts, continues to pose a fight against a tunnel backed by @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social, that would harm the Delta's farming economy and livelihoods.

#calegislature #cawater

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

The Delta Tunnel doesn’t make any economic sense for agriculture. According to DWR'S 2024 analysis, ag water users would only see a benefit-cost ratio of 0.39. Testimony from Dr. Jeffrey Michael of the University of Montana, confirms that this project is financially unworkable.

This is exactly what the Delta is all about! 🫶

We want to share a huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our booth last Sunday at the Courtland Pear Fair! Together, we can let @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social know that Delta communities are still against the tunnel!

#IamtheDelta #calegislature

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

In an average year, California diverts more than 50% of the Central Valley river flows BEFORE they reach the San Francisco Bay. In dry years, that number rises to over 70%.

Our team continues to oppose the project with expert analysis from partners like @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social.

Disadvantaged communities in Southern California will pay $100 billion for the Delta tunnel while destroying disadvantaged communities in the Delta! Who benefits the Resnicks— @gavinnewsom.bsky.social ‘s industrial ag billionaire donors.

🚨The estuary is currently on a tsunami advisory. Higher water levels in the Delta are to be expected!

Follow @nws.noaa.gov or go to www.tsunami.gov more up to date information!

🚨California Climate Investments are meant to support disadvantaged communities with clean air, safe water, and affordable housing, but the Delta Tunnel would do the complete opposite by raising water rates and harming communities already facing poverty, pollution, & environmental injustice.

We’re excited to be at the Courtland Pear Fair today! 🍐

Find us inside the auditorium to learn about the Delta Tunnel, how to get involved in our August advocacy day, grab free merch, and take a photo for our #IAmTheDelta campaign to help stop the Tunnel. We hope to see you there!

🚨 The California State Water Resources Control Board released its long-awaited proposed updates to the San Francisco Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan, a critical policy governing water quality and ecosystem health for California’s largest and most imperiled estuary.

What to do if you see HABs:

• Avoid HABs-infested areas, especially with children, the elderly, and pets

• Avoid skin contact or inhalation near or along the shoreline

• Do not ingest the water

The current blooms look like chopped grass floating in the water—as if someone dumped a lawnmower bag into the water. You might also see it just below the surface.

Our test strips maxed out at 10 parts per billion, meaning actual toxin levels could be even higher. This exceeds California’s warning thresholds for public health and is the highest we've seen since 2022.

On July 23rd and 24th, our water quality testing program reported that Harmful Algal Blooms have been found at Windmill Cove, Buckley Cove, and the Louis Park boat launch in Stockton. Stay alert, stay safe, and help protect our Delta community by spreading the word!

🚨 BREAKING: A new report by Californians for Water Impact Network reveals the Delta Tunnel could cost up to $100 billion, five times more than what DWR claims.

We must ask ourselves who truly profits from the project, and who will eventually pay the price?

Thank you to the Conway Homes Resident Council and the Housing Authority of San Joaquin County
for hosting this event.

We are excited to be at Conway Homes’ Resource Fair in Stockton today until 1! We will be sharing ways to identify Harmful Algal Blooms, updates on the Mormon Slough Restoration Project, how to take action against the Delta Tunnel, and more.

🚨 @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social called California Tribes and community groups opposing the Delta Conveyance Project “special interests.”

Expert testimony submitted by environmental economists, Tribal leaders, and scientists has already debunked his claims and misinformation.

Progress isn’t recycling a 70-year-old plan that has never passed the climate test! Progress @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is NOT calling Delta communities and tribes special interests.

Today, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social responded to our press release via X, attempting to push forward the Delta Conveyance Project.A recent report by EcoNorthwest shows the Delta tunnel will cost $60 to $116 billion and that DWR's cost benefit analysis is incomplete.

🚨 BREAKING: Tribes & advocates demand an end to the Delta Tunnel at the Day of Action for Water Justice

Today, tribal leaders and environmental advocates were at the Capitol in Sacramento, CA, urging lawmakers to reject Governor Newsom’s trailer bills regarding the Delta Tunnel.

🚨BREAKING: California Water Impact Network (C-WIN) shares the real costs of the Delta Conveyance Project

“ECONorthwest estimates that if it ends up getting built, the DCP could cost anywhere from $60 to over $100 billion”, 3-5 more than DWR's previous $20 billion claim.

🚨 Your water bill could be going up, and the Delta Tunnel could be the reason why…

📢 Californians deserve transparency. Call your legislator and tell them to say YES to the audit and ensure it's included on the agenda!

🚨 CAUTION: HABs detected at McLeod Lake in downtown Stockton, CA.

Water sampling on June 23rd showed "chopped grass" a visual sign of the cyanobacteria. With rising temps, conditions may worsen. We urge residents & visitors to recreate safely across the Delta.
