Howdy Friends and Family,
Salmon Come Home Music Video
I am happy to announce the release of my new music video "Salmon Come Home," directed by Gary Washington, with Alaskan wildlife and scenic footage by Daniel Zatz. "Salmon Come Home" was written to raise awareness about two proposed mines in Alaska: the Chuitna River Mine & the Pebble Mine.
The proposed Chuitna River Mine (60 miles west of Anchorage across the Cook Inlet in Tyonek, Alaska) would dig up thirteen miles of a salmon river, 300 feet down, thus destroying the salmon habitat there which provides salmon for the Athabaskan People living in the region and for the commercial fishing industry. The Pebble Mine (Bristol Bay) would create a gold and copper mine in the spawning grounds of the largest remaining salmon run on Earth, also destroying the salmon run for the Native Peoples and fishing industry.
I am releasing two versions of the video, one for the Chuitna campaign, and one for the Pebble Mine campaign. Both versions contain the same video and music, with different introductions and endings.

Live Interview on the Internet May 11
With Sylvia Richardson of Vancouver, British Columbia

Dana Warms Up for Bill McKibben May 16
I have the honor of warming up for Bill McKibben in Bellingham on May 16. In my opinion, Bill is the foremost voice in America about climate change. Don't miss his talk at the Chuckanut Radio Hour at Whatcom Community College (more details below).
Crude Awakening Oil Train Tour
Matt Krogh (ForestEthics) and I will be conducting a "Crude Awakening Oil Train Tour" to raise awareness about the proposal to radically increase the number of trains carrying explosive oil through the heart of towns and cities throughout the Pacific Northwest. This is the same oil that exploded in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec killing 47 people, and more recently, in the train that derailed and caught fire in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Matt will give an informational talk/power point presentation and I will sing some songs. Both Matt and I will discuss what we can do to defeat these proposals. Shows are currently scheduled in Tacoma, Bellingham, Olympia, Everett and Port Angeles. More to come! (See details below.)

Hope to see you at one of the shows,
