Mark your calendar! We’re excited to invite you to the second annual Rise Up Northwest in Unity Convening (R.U.N.), taking place from December 16 to 18, 2024, in Kennewick, WA at the Three Rivers Convention Center. Attendees will arrive on December 16, after which the two-day gathering will kick off on December 17. Its focus will be on safeguarding the Northwest’s precious resources—water, orcas, and salmon—and we need your voice to help shape the future.

Event Details:

• Dates: December 16 (attendee arrival), December 17-18 (Convening)
• Location: Three Rivers Convention Center (7016 West Grandridge Blvd., Kennewick, WA 99336)

Why Attend? We’ll come together around three core areas:

• Education: Dive deep into current challenges facing our water and wildlife with expert-led discussions.
