Hey John,
Jared Bossly is a farmer in Brown County, South Dakota.
He didn’t ask to become a symbol. But when Summit Carbon Solutions sued him—trying to force a CO₂ pipeline through his land—he didn’t back down.
They accused him of threatening surveyors (he says he didn’t). They sued. They showed up anyway. And he stood his ground.
Photos of that moment went viral.
Bossly gave interviews. Showed up at meetings. Refused to be bullied.
And people listened.
Soon, lawmakers who supported the pipeline started losing elections. A new legislature passed a law banning eminent domain for carbon pipelines.
That’s what people-powered resistance looks like.
And that’s why we do this.
This is what happens when we push back
More soon.
