Cascade Concerned Citizens Committee
About the local citizens group — its focus, requests, and how to get involved.
Information about Cascade Concerned Citizens Committee, a local group created in March 2022, currently focused on the proposed Simple Mining facility. This page presents the group's own information and views sourced 19 June 2026 from their Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D2AokVCTM/. It is kept separate from the research and source pages elsewhere on the site, which aim to stay neutral.
Who we are
"We're a group of local citizens who have an interest in the future of our town. We believe in small government. We are working towards making sure our local government works for the people and not just special interest groups. We believe in having our voices heard and are willing to challenge unethical behavior at every level. We are not affiliated with any one party. This is a place to learn about those running for office, local concerns, policies being discussed, and issues affecting our small town and us locally."

CCCC plans to present a letter at 22 July City Council Meeting asking to be put on the agenda for July 13th
Current need - people to go door to door, 2-3 hours of time, to ask people to sign the paper petition for Cascade residents (different than the online petition). CCCC will provide verbiage and information.
If you can’t go door to door or have mobility issues, but could ask friends, family or community group members you are in - reach out to Katie or Alice.
Call and e-mail your City Council members. Contact info is posted in the CCCC Facebook group or on the City Council webpage.
