If you’ve been wondering, “What can I actually do?”
->start here. 💙

You don’t need political experience. You don’t need unlimited free time. You just need to care about what happens in our community and be willing to help in whatever way works for you.

Maybe that’s volunteering at an event, helping with social media, registering voters, making calls, joining a committee, or simply staying informed until you’re ready to do more.

There’s work to do in Cocke County, and there’s room for you in it.

This matters here at home.

A proposal to repeal the Roadless Rule could open thousands of acres of protected national forest land in East Tennessee to logging and road construction, including areas of the Cherokee National Forest.

These are our mountains, our forests, our watersheds, and part of what makes East Tennessee home.

We encourage our community to read the reporting from WATE and stay informed about decisions affecting our public lands.

A move by the Trump administration to end a 25-year-old rule protecting national forest lands could open up thousands of acres in East Tennessee for logging and road construction.
