NAMRA is a broad-based ad hoc alliance of groups and individuals who care about rivers, communities and climate. We are pluralistic, a clearinghouse for information, and a forum for voices from various communities on the issue of megadams and energy policy impacts on rivers and human rights. 

We are not funded by or allied with any for-profit venture, including any that might compete with megadams in the energy marketplace. We are volunteer-led, with a volunteer coordinator. In 2019 we hired a paid staffer.  We are not a 501(c)(3), but operate with a fiscal sponsor, the Global Justice Ecology Project, an arrangement fully in compliance with IRS and non-profit governance standards and best practices.
