Dakota Resource Council (DRC) is a non-partisan, grassroots organization founded in 1978. DRC emerged from the need to address the impacts of coal development and has since grown to tackle various challenges faced by its members and their communities. At DRC, they believe in the power of community and the strength of collective voices.

By organizing and taking action together, DRC members strive to ensure responsible and sustainable development while protecting North Dakota's resources and local voices. DRC works with communities across the state to create public awareness, shape public policy, and advocate for safe and responsible development. Their focus areas include oil and gas, coal country, agriculture and food, and clean energy.

Through member-led local groups, DRC empowers individuals to influence decision-making processes that impact their lives and communities. The vision of DRC is to build a prosperous and healthy North Dakota that respects its land and people, prioritizes a healthy environment, and encourages sustainable resource utilization. Join DRC today to be a part of their mission to shape a better future for North Dakota
