JACL Minidoka Briefing

Save Minidoka! LS Power, a New York private equity company, is seeking approval from the U.S. Department of the Interior to build a giant wind project on the historic footprint of Minidoka in Idaho. LS Power's proposed Lava Ridge Wind Project includes 400 giant wind towers, 80% of which would be located within the viewshed of Minidoka National Historic Site. The closest towers would be within two miles of the park's new visitor center.    

With your help, we can stop this assault on our Japanese American and AAPI heritage.  The Bureau of Land Management has set a deadline for public comments on Wednesday, October 20.  

Please join us for a webinar on Thursday, October 14, at 9:00 PM ET/7:00 PM MT/6 PM PT at the link below. We plan to discuss: 

  • How to submit public comments to the Bureau of Land Management

  • What you can do to help.

  • Information we have for the team.

Your voice matters!
