"What's important about Bobby Kennedy is that he challenges each of us to become personally invested in protecting our waterways,. It's our elbow grease and our willingness to fund and be part of projects like the Spokane Riverkeeper and the Lake Pend Oreille Waterkeeper that make a difference in protecting and restoring our signature waterways and preventing tragedies like the one that is occurring now in the Gulf of Mexico." - Spokane Riverkeeper Rick Eichstaedt

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s visit to our region is particularly timely as it coincides with ongoing actions by the State of Idaho that roll back water quality safeguards. Despite efforts by concerned citizens to protect and restore the waterways we love, Idaho recently reduced septic regulations, and is failing to meet Clean Water Act timelines to restore impaired waterways such as the Pend Oreille River. While we may feel helpless about oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, there is still the chance to protect our local waterways. RFK Jr.'s visit will highlight the need for everyone to get involved with protecting our lakes and rivers right here, right now." - Pend Oreille Waterkeeper Jennifer Ekstrom
