Who we are

Friends of Gadsden Creek is a grassroots, community-led campaign opposing the destruction of Gadsden Creek, and the continued patterns of injustice inflicted upon the Gadsden Green community.

We are a coalition of concerned citizens, businesses, and organizations who oppose the WestEdge development plan to fill Gadsden Creek. We demand the revitalization of Gadsden Creek and her surrounding wetlands, as a first step in a larger plan that repairs the social, environmental, and economic harm that has been inflicted upon the Gadsden Green community.

FOR FREE

There is no membership fee or any financial obligation to be a member of Friends of Gadsden Creek. Becoming a member means that you oppose the permit application to fill Gadsden Creek and that it’s okay to list you as a member of the group. Simple as that!

 

CALL TO ACTION

UPDATE (June 2023): In January 2023, FOGC and SCELP appealed SCDHEC’s December 2022 court ruling, which if upheld, will allow WestEdge to carry on with the destruction of Gadsden Creek.

It is not too late to join the thousands of voices who have spoken up in opposition to WestEdge. Find the contact information of Charleston City Council, SCDHEC, and the Army Corps of Engineers here -> CALL TO ACTION, in addition to more actions you take to support the campaign.
