Thank you so much for signing!

Tomorrow, Monday 3/24, I will launch my kayak from Pioneer Square Habitat Beach in downtown Seattle at 9am, and paddle this petition along with hundreds of postcards to the capitol in Olympia for delivery to Governor Ferguson. It will take me 3 days to paddle the 65 miles, arriving on Wednesday. This effort is in collaboration with Endangered Species Coalition, Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition, Sierra Club, Washington Conservation Action and North West Artists Against Extinction.

You can follow my progress at paddle2olympia.travelmap.net/ or on instagram.com/kv_kinship 

I will also be gifting the governor an original painting from my SUPERPOD collection, depicting all 73 remaining Southern Resident orcas, and 7 who have died since the beginning of the project.

Let's keep up the momentum, keep spreading the word, and wish me luck! May the Snake River flow free again!

Sincerely, 
Gabriel Newton
