The Klamath Forest Alliance is committed to ensuring that all the voices in our community are heard; even the ones who are voiceless. As rural activists, our organization and members are sometimes the target of hate related crimes. We are working directly with the tribes, and local peace and human rights groups to educate, and dispel many of the myths created by the hard right that frame loggers and farmers against environmentalists, and allow discrimination against tribal and non-tribal community members.
Siskiyou County
For over 15 years, KFA has witnessed a colorful array of anti-environmental efforts in Siskiyou County, including organized attempts to stop new wilderness designations, critical habitat for Coho Salmon, roadless area conservation, and the establishment of the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument. We have worked to counter propaganda from local biased newspapers, extremist groups and members of the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors and our Representatives.

In a democracy, the victims are often the silent ones. Since the early 1990's, KFA has been a leader in advocating for the return of a healthy fishery along the banks of the Klamath River, and throughout the Klamath Basin. We have worked continuously at representing downstream interests including fisherman, rafters, business owners, tribal communities and an array of sensitive, rare and endangered species.

The 2001 headgates closure, and 2002 fish kill along the Klamath River, created a hostile environment between the farmers, tribes and our environmental community. Since 2003, we have been working locally in Klamath Falls to build a coalition of peace groups, and human dignity organizations to provide education and speak out against hate crimes.

We support the Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Karuk Tribe and strive towards a goal of Environmental Justice, which is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. It will be achieved when everyone enjoys the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision-making process to have a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work.
