LS Power wants to build its wind project on public land – our land. It belongs to all of us. Our voices matter!

We are a community group standing up for ourselves and Idaho. In order to protect our home, we need to band together and let all stories and opinions be heard. We aim to educate people about the project, share ways people can help stop the project, and advocate our cause to local and state government leaders. Many believe that the project is approved and there is nothing we can do. We CAN do something, and we will do everything we can to protect our homes, lands, and livelihoods.

We can make a difference. This is NOT a done deal.

We need to tell Our Personal Stories and how the project will impact us, our families, and community.

We need your help.
