Since late 2022, Rumble On The River has presented fourteen free community forums in neighborhoods throughout Portland. Topics have included urban forestry, shade equity, Columbia & Willamette River ecosystems, false climate solutions to climate disruption and salmon restoration. The central Rumble focus has been on the Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub. Rumbles bring together expert voices to lay out the potential hazards of having 90% of Oregon’s fuel and a mix of toxics stored within Portland’s city limits on a seismic liquefaction zone.
