Local Teams

Get involved with your local land study

Your message will go to members who are already organizing in your state or county, or to coordinating team members if we haven’t started working in your county yet. 

We can offer access to data and analysis, training, and organizer support! Please connect if you’re interested in finding out who owns your county, how it’s affecting local revenues, and what you can do about it!
