Protect the Okefenokee from risky mining: tell epd to deny twin pines’ permits

The EPD is now accepting comments on these draft permits. We’ve organized our comments into letter templates that you can personalize—or write a letter that is completely your own and send it using our system. Comment before April 9!
Glynn County Residents: Participate in Zoning Ordinance Update to shape your county’s future
What’s important to you in your neighborhood and county? Walkability and bike lanes? Tree canopy and public park space? Ensuring new commercial and industrial development goes in the right places? Protections for our threatened and endangered wildlife? These are all zoning issues—and they need your voice!
After years of delays, Glynn County recently released its draft zoning ordinance update—and now it’s up to you to help determine what happens next.
Liberty County:
Participate in Comprehensive Plan Community Meetings

KEEP SAPELO GEECHEE
Sapelo’s historic Saltwater/Gullah Geechee community of Hog Hammock, also known as Hog(g) Hummock, is inhabited by descendants of formerly enslaved West Africans and is the last Saltwater/Gullah Geechee community on a Georgia barrier island.
On September 13, 2023, after zero conversations with Saltwater/Gullah Geechee residents or public meetings in Hog Hammock, and thousands of emails and public comments in opposition, the McIntosh County Commissioners voted to change the zoning in Hog Hammock. These changes will speed up the gentrification of Hog Hammock and cause the erasure of Saltwater/Gullah Geechee people from Sapelo Island.
If you are a registered voter in McIntosh County, you can help Keep Sapelo Geechee!
