We stopped the water transfer from the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) to the SFPUC! It took a year of collaboration between farmers, environmentalists, and the City of Modesto, but we did it. Yesterday the MID board voted to cease negotiations with the SFPUC. You can read about it at http://www.mercedsunstar.com/2012/09/18/2544402/modesto-utility-rejects-sf-water.html

Many thanks to those of you who helped by attending public hearings and sending emails. Our efforts really made a difference! Please join us on October 4 to celebrate another recent victory -- the acquisition of Dos Rios, 1,600 acres of farmland at the confluence of the Tuolumne and San Joaquin rivers that will be restored to wildlife habitat.
