🚨Take Action to keep electricity rates affordable!Black Hills Energy wants to raise electricity ⚡ rates for their South Dakota customers by 25% - tell the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to reject this request!💲In BHE’s filings to the PUC, the company said that this increase will add about $25 per month to residential bills (about $300 per year). On top of rising grocery prices, gas prices, and healthcare costs, many South Dakotans are already struggling. 📌BHE has to get approval from the SD PUC to increase their rates, and YOU can weigh in on this process. ⏰Submit your comment today! It doesn’t take long, and your comment becomes part of the public record. The PUC needs to hear from as many of BHE’s 75,000 South Dakota customers as possible. 🗒Comments must include: Black Hills Energy’s name, the docket number EL26-003, your full name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number.

❓Did you know that nearly half (49%) of South Dakota's nursing home residents are enrolled in Medicaid? This provides essential coverage for elderly or disabled people who can't remain in their homes. 📌This fall, the ballot measure Amendment I could undermine this coverage for elderly and disabled South Dakotans. 📌South Dakotans approved Medicaid Expansion in 2022. Amendment I would automatically end Expansion if the federal match falls below 90%, leaving far fewer options for people faced with these tough decisions. #Medicaid #ElderCare #RuralHealthcare ...

📣Excting news to share! After an extensive search, we are pleased to announce Jason Schoch as our next Executive Director. Jason succeeds long-time director Frank James, who retired last year. Chase Jensen, DRA’s Organizing Director, has been the acting director in the interim. “Our search for an Executive Director has concluded as we welcome Jason Schoch to the role, who has a strong background with grassroots efforts and experience working with all residents of our state. Our staff’s deep commitment to South Dakota and grassroots organizing allowed DRA to move through this process with ease while maintaining a strong foundation. We are excited as we begin a new chapter in DRA’s story,” said Paula Antoine, DRA Board Chairwoman.Jason is joining DRA after 14 years leading South Dakota State University Extension’s Tribal Local Foods Program and six years as Project Director of Dr. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program on the Pine Ridge Reservation. With extensive experience in leading and developing teams, supporting new and beginning producers, revitalizing rural community development, and farm-to-school initiatives, he is a proven leader with a passion for all South Dakotans and sovereign Tribal Nations. Schoch has worked in impoverished communities, focusing on community food systems and leading wildlife- and biodiversity-friendly, nature-based, regenerative small farming programs. “One of my first formative memories when I was little was attending farm auctions with my grandfather during the 80s farm crisis. I remember him bidding on equipment he didn’t really need, just trying to help his neighbors out of a terrible situation. I also remember how hard he worked to keep our family farm afloat and profitable in a changing world that made sustaining agriculture and rural life increasingly difficult,” Jason said of his lifelong connections to the farming community.“In South Dakota, there’s a resilience in our farmers, our rural communities, and in the people from rural areas living in our cities. We have the grit, ingenuity, and pragmatism to face today’s challenges, just as my grandfather did decades ago. I am proud to join Dakota Rural Action in fighting to protect remaining small family farms, to organize those who call South Dakota home, and to give voice to a part of the country often ignored by today’s self-appointed power brokers.” Please join us in welcoming Jason to DRA! He will officially start in September so keep an eye out for opportunities to meet Jason in the upcoming months. ... See MoreSee Less
