Public forum with Dillon Vancil and the Galva Area CO2 Awareness Group on June 2, 2026

Residents are invited to attend a community press conference focused on carbon dioxide (CO₂) sequestration projects and their potential impact on the region. The event will take place on Tuesday, June 2nd, at 5 PM at The Old Grace Methodist Church, 108 SE 2nd Street, Galva.

The gathering will feature Congressional candidate Dillon Vancil alongside members of the Galva Area CO₂ Awareness Group. Organizers say the event is designed to provide information about proposed CO₂ projects, answer questions from residents, and encourage open discussion about issues affecting local communities.

Topics will include carbon sequestration, land and water protection, public health considerations, and the long-term impact of CO₂ infrastructure projects. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and learn more about how these projects could affect the area.

Organizers emphasize the importance of transparency, accountability, and community involvement when decisions are being made that could influence the future of local farmland, natural resources, and rural communities.

The event is free and open to the public. Community members are encouraged to attend, become informed, and participate in the conversation about the future of their communities.

For organizers, the message is simple: “Every voice matters. Your community. Your future.”
