Just passing along this press release...I'm adding my voice!

"On Thursday, March 26th, join thousands of British Columbians in standing up for BC’s rivers. On that day, people from across the province will be contacting their MLA and the Premier calling for a moratorium on private power projects on our rivers.

Over the last several years, thousands of people have taken action to protect their rivers and streams throughout British Columbia. People have written letters, attended information meetings, and told their family, friends and neighbours about the threat of private hydro projects to BC’s waterways. Now it’s time for all of us to speak up together.

Join with the Wilderness Committee and a broad range of other groups in the "10,000 Voices for BC Rivers" Campaign. The Wilderness Committee is calling for a moratorium on private power projects until they are regionally planned, environmentally appropriate, acceptable to First Nations, and publicly owned. We want our rivers wild and our power public, and we hope you do too.

Go to 10000voices.org and sign up to participate. The Wilderness Committee will keep you up to date on the 10,000 Voices project, tell you about what other people are doing about this issue, and give you a reminder leading up to March 26th to take action.

If you’d like some of the Wilderness Committee’s 10,000 Voices flyers, an action kit for holding a small event, or just want more information, please call Andrew toll-free at 1.800.661.9453 (or 604.683.8220 in the Lower Mainland) or e-mail andrew@wildernesscommittee.org.

Please pass on the 10000voices.org website to all your e-mail contacts, and ask them to do the same.

On March 26th, let’s find out how powerful all of our voices can be!"
