People can’t build a future on resistance alone.
We need something—someone—worth believing in.

Remember: the end goal isn’t endless protests.
It’s to end the reasons people have to protest in the first place.

"The deal to help those (Native American tribal) radio stations, however, will not be reflected by changes to the legislative text of the #rescissions package." -- The Hill
And how, exactly, does that work, Sen. Rounds?? #SouthDakota #SDpolitics #NPR #publicmedia

People don’t need political parties flexing.
They need someone who will fight for them.

South Dakotans are waiting on leaders who actually show up—for the people, not for themselves.

This moment demands courage, not self-congratulation.

I am deeply concerned about the unjust termination of federal employees and the devastating impact it would have on South Dakota’s economy, public services, and communities. Many areas of our state rely on federal agencies to provide essential services, and mass firings would create significant disruptions.

For example, the VA Medical Centers in Sioux Falls, Fort Meade, and Hot Springs serve thousands of veterans who would face longer wait times and reduced care. The National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service maintain key tourist attractions and manage wildfire prevention—cuts to their workforce would harm our economy and public safety. Additionally, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Indian Health Service (IHS) provide critical services to tribal communities, which would be severely impacted by staff reductions.

Beyond job losses, these cuts would hurt local businesses, reduce school funding, and weaken public safety. Communities like Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Pierre, and Hot Springs would see economic downturns as federal agencies struggle to function.
I urge you to take immediate action to prevent these devastating firings. Protecting federal employees means protecting South Dakota’s economy, public health, and essential services.

Thank you for your time and leadership on this critical issue. I look forward to your response and hope to see strong action to defend South Dakota from these harmful decisions.

I am writing to express my deep concern over the unjust firing of federal employees and the devastating consequences it would have on South Dakota’s economy, public services, and essential industries. The loss of these dedicated workers would not only harm individuals and families but also weaken entire communities that rely on federal agencies for jobs, infrastructure, and economic stability.

South Dakota is home to several critical federal agencies that play an essential role in the daily lives of our residents. For example:

The VA Medical Centers in Sioux Falls, Fort Meade, and Hot Springs provide life-saving care to thousands of veterans. Staffing shortages would lead to longer wait times, reduced services, and more strain on state and local healthcare systems.

The National Park Service manages sites like Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, and Wind Cave National Park, which are economic drivers for tourism. Cuts to federal staff would reduce maintenance, limit park access, and hurt the local businesses that depend on park visitors.

The US Forest Service oversees the Black Hills National Forest, which is crucial for wildfire prevention and land management. Fewer employees would mean slower responses to wildfires and greater risks to homes and communities.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Indian Health Service (IHS) provide essential services to tribal communities across the state. Staffing reductions would worsen already critical healthcare and infrastructure challenges on reservations.

Federal employees in these agencies do not just work in isolation; they support the broader economy and public safety network. For example, if the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service lose personnel, fire mitigation efforts in the Black Hills could be severely hampered, increasing the risk of devastating wildfires. If BIA and IHS are understaffed, tribal communities will face even greater challenges in accessing healthcare, education, and infrastructure i…

Our National Parks Need Your Voice!

More than a thousand National Park Service staff have lost their jobs, and the impact on our parks and local economies will only get worse if we don’t act now. Park staff are the backbone of our national parks—maintaining trails, keeping visitors safe, preserving history, and supporting the communities that depend on park tourism.

We need Congress to take action and restore these critical jobs! Contact your state’s representatives and tell them to stand up for the National Park Service.

To make it easy, I’ve drafted letters you can use for reference—one specific to South Dakota and one for any state. Check the comments for both versions, personalize them, and send them to your Congressmen today! Let’s protect our parks and the people who care for them.
