Since 2022, Rumble On The River has presented 22 community forums in neighborhoods throughout Portland and at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference, U of O. Rumbles bring together expert voices to discuss a range of environmental and social topics. These have included the Columbia & Willamette River ecosystems, transportation, false climate solutions, urban forestry, shade equity, risk-bonding, salmon restoration, the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund and the Western Hemisphere’s most toxic site–Hanford. A recurring Rumble focus has been the Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub and the potential hazards of having 90% of Oregon’s fuel and a dangerous mix of chemicals stored within Portland’s city limits on a riverside seismic liquefaction zone.
