Stand with Ian Murphy — Defend Local Control and Rural America
Your donation keeps the fight alive.
From the Iron Pig Smokehouse that defied unconstitutional COVID mandates and won in court, to the active lawsuits stopping massive industrial solar plants in Otsego and Cheboygan Counties — Ian Murphy has proven one determined American can push back against government overreach.
Now, through the IRON Foundation (Independently Revitalizing and Organizing our Nation), we're scaling that same iron will statewide & then nationwide. Your support funds legal battles, community organizing, strategy toolkits, and public awareness so other towns and counties can protect their farmland, property rights, and way of life from forced utility-scale solar industrialization.
Not against solar power — against top-down mandates that ignore local voices.
Why your gift matters right now:
- Active lawsuits in Otsego County (45th Parallel Solar – RWE) and support in Cheboygan County (Northern Waters Solar Park) are delaying industrial projects on private farmland.
- Every dollar helps replicate the successful "local approval + lawsuit" and "if you like your CREO you can keep your CREO" strategy that freezes non-compliant developments.
- We're building toolkits and training so the next community facing the same threat doesn't have to start from scratch.
- We're building our team of attorneys & activists to be able to 50/50 split the cost of any litigation required. Example: If the average cost of litigation is $10,000 we'll help you raise 50% locally and match the other 50% from our Foundation donors & supporters.
100% of your donation goes directly to the mission — legal defense, organizing, and education. (Administrative costs kept minimal through dedicated volunteers and the Murphy team's proven efficiency.)
