About INDIANA ACTION TEAM

The Indiana Action Team (IAT) works to educate landowners and communities to support efforts that protect Hoosier life and land from risky carbon capture pipelines and underground carbon dumps.  

The IAT is also networking with other state-based organizations and impacted landowners opposing carbon pipelines and proposed underground carbon waste dumps across the Midwest.

Emma Schmit and local organizers work with landowners and communities in Indiana. Email for more information: emma@boldalliance.org. 

IAT is a part of a network of Easement Action Teams, a project of Bold Education Fund, that work in numerous states to handle outreach and education efforts with landowners.

Over the years, Easement Action Team landowners have also worked with various attorneys who have represented landowners across the Midwest and around the county in eminent domain battles, pipeline fights, and carbon dump site opposition. They have mounted landowner legal challenges to proposed projects and handled hundreds of lawsuits, including constitutional challenges and condemnation litigation.

Attorneys working locally with Indiana Action Team members include Derrick Braaten and William Morris.

Mr. Braaten has represented landowners fighting eminent domain for carbon capture projects at the North Dakota Supreme Court, while Mr. Morris specializes in civil rights and property rights litigation, and operates his law firm locally out of Bloomington, IN.
