Every year on and around March 14, thousands of people take action for the world's rivers.

Advocate for your river this March 14 by taking part in the fifteenth International Day of Action for Rivers. Celebrate with hundreds of communities around the world and help keep our rivers free - free from destructive dams and free for the millions of people who depend on them.

36 countries already take action

Last year's events were filled with music, artwork, dancing and prayer. Actions took place in 36 countries - the broadest geographical participation organisers International Rivers have ever seen.

Plans for this year's International Day of Action for Rivers are already in motion, and range from a creative protest of the greenwashing of destructive dams at the Sixth World Water Forum in Marseille to a ceremony on the banks of the Salween River.

Now is the time to organize your own event for March 14. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your ideas. You can also share comments on the Day of Action for Rivers facebook page.
