RIP Melanie Winter. She was an uncompromising defender of the Los Angeles River, for decades: advocating for more park space, smarter use of our water resources, and educating students about local and global environments.

Melanie Winter led efforts to embrace nature along the L.A. River, touting the potential for a restored river to heal the city's relationship to water. She was 67.

🌊💪🏼River Love in Action! 🌊💪🏼

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible volunteer workforce, generous donors, and dedicated community partners. With just a small but mighty group, we accomplished something powerful we removed 12 shopping carts from the Los Angeles River and a whole loads of kayaks filled with trash.

A heartfelt thank you to , whose team didn’t just show up they showed out! With supplies in hand and a truck ready to haul away any of their carts, they truly lived up to their motto: How doers get more done.

Wealso want to thank the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) for their vital support in helping in ensuring trash pickup. Your partnership made this effort possible!

And to Senator Menjivar thank you for standing with us. Your support and recognition mean everything to grassroots efforts like ours.
Together, we are proving that when community rises, change happens.

Let’s continue to fight for our river, our neighborhoods, and our planet. 💪🌿🌊
