We need your help — and we need it now.
This Friday, HJR 5001 will be heard in the House State Affairs Committee, and what happens in that room will determine whether South Dakota citizens are given the opportunity to have the final say on eminent domain for private gain.
HJR 5001 is simple but powerful. It puts the question back where it belongs — in the hands of the people. Not special interests. Not corporate developers. Not political insiders. The citizens of South Dakota.
HJR 5001 is a constitutional amendment that would bar the government from using eminent domain to take private property and give it to a private (non-government) entity solely for economic development or increased tax revenue unless there’s a genuine public use or benefit.
In simple terms: It stops the government from taking your land and handing it to a private company just because they think it’ll make more money or bring in more taxes.
If you believe private property rights matter…
If you believe family farms and ranches should not be sacrificed for private profit…
If you believe the people deserve a voice on eminent domain abuses…
👉 Please contact the members of the House State Affairs Committee immediately and urge them to SUPPORT HJR 5001.
