If the industries around us are 'meeting standards,' yet tragedies like THIS are happening, clearly the standards aren't doing their job.

We did a lot of research. There are a lot of warehouses. It's a problem.

Save the date! On Saturday, September 23 -- in honor of National Public Lands Day -- entrance fees will be waived across the country. We encourage everyone to get outside and take advantage of the health benefits of spending time in these natural spaces that belong to all of us.

“It’s not unusual for a body like the county commissioners to ignore people like us. What’s more frustrating is that they don’t even consider us.”

The McIntosh County Sheriff's Office barred me from bringing my audio recorder to last night's public meeting about rezoning of ancestral Gullah Geechee land. I pulled up the Georgia Open Meetings Act on my laptop and showed it to the chief deputy. It made no difference to him:

One of the few remaining Gullah-Geechee communities in the U.S. is in another fight to hold onto land owned by residents' families since their ancestors were freed from slavery.

URGENT: ask McIntosh Commissioners to defer vote for 90 days so they can hear from Hogg Hummock residents who would be impacted: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

[100MilesGA @100MilesGA]

“I’m glad they came out in mass. I counted roughly 150-160 people in the room. I didn’t hear one person who was in support of these changes. It’s important that their voices are heard,” said Commissioner Roger Lotson. https://t.co/whYhul4GzC

[100MilesGA @100MilesGA]

Commission will vote this week—Sapelo needs you to speak up: email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] & ask that they delay vote for 90 days to hear from HH community.

[100MilesGA @100MilesGA]

McIntosh is rushing through a new ordinance that would allow for giant mansions in Sapelo's historic Hogg Hummock community—where descendants have fought to remain for generations—transforming the island & further forcing longtime residents off the island.

“It’s a step back in time,” (Commissioner) Lotson said. “And the fear of many, including myself, is that by allowing any size house over there, soon the uniqueness of Sapelo will go away.”
