I.A.T helps you develop the best practices for dealing with the tactics and intrusion corporations use when they want to take your property. 

I.A.T will also keep you updated on the latest project development, connect you with others resisting the project, and provide support and resources to ensure you and your community aren't taken advantage of by greedy corporations. 

Our goal is to protect your land, safety,and property rights by resisting projects that seek to go on, under, and through your land.

I.A.T will keep landowners abreast regarding if, and when, it ever becomes necessary to negotiate with the company. This would occur only if and after available legal options have been attempted. 

If a project is approved and there are no options to avoid construction or operation , I.A.T will work to negotiate the best uniform terms for all I.A.T landowners to ensure the best protections possible.

An easement is a legal document allowing someone besides the landowner to use land for a specific purpose. This can include the right to build a pipeline and related infrastructure, the use of underground pore space, as well as the right to enter the property for maintenance and repairs. It is highly recommended to have an attorney review an easement agreement before signing anything. Easements can be obtained through voluntary negotiations or through eminent domain.

No. We encourage you NOT TO SIGN ANYTHING until and if you completely understand all the risks and and liabilities associated with a project. 

If you join I.A.T and become a part of our legal co-op, you never have to directly interact with these companies or their agents ever again.

You will be placed on our email list and receive updates about the proposed pipeline and sequestration project, invitations to occasional Zoom calls and various resources.

Information is provided about current state agency proceedings and how to become involved in those hearings as well as what you can do to effectively voice your opinions.

You will receive updates on legal actions related to the proposed projects and learn how that affects you and we also discuss best practices and strategies around landowner resistance, including how to get involved locally and what your county and township boards can do to help protect you.

Condemnation is the name of a legal proceeding that occurs when an entity (usually a governmental entity) who has the power of eminent domain uses that power to condemn or take all or a portion of another’s property for the condemner’s use and purpose.

Condemnation is a process by which the landowner whose property is being taken can present evidence in Court to jurors from the county were the land is located who will determine the value, or the monetary compensation, that the taker must pay the landowner.

Often before Condemnation litigation starts, there is a period of negotiation with the taker, here potentially a Carbon Pipeline company, and you can negotiate the terms or fine print of the contract, called an Easement, and you can negotiate price or the financial compensation that will be paid.

If negotiations fail, condemnation often starts where you can go all the way to trial and/or continue to negotiate along the way if you think it is likely you can reach an agreement.

Anyone can join the effort to protect our communities, our futures, and the environment. Impacted landowners are highly encouraged to join, as they will be directly affected.

I.A.T. (Indiana Action Team) was organized in 2024 to provide education and support to Hoosiers threatened by risky carbon capture projects.

Indiana Action Team has an agreement with Bold Education Fund to operate as I.A.T.’s fiscal sponsor as a nonprofit corporation under § 501C(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and this allows donations to I.A.T. to be tax-deductible.
