The struggle against data centers is critical in the struggle against climate change. The rapid expansion of AI Data Centers has meant the expansion of fossil fuels driving climate crisis. Each center uses a city's worth of electricity and water. They bring pollution, not jobs. Crisis, not community
The struggle against data centers is critical in the struggle against fascism here and abroad. They are utilized for mass surveillance, ICE profiling, military drone strikes in Iran and Gaza, and more. The big data industry is expanding and so is the tech dystopia.
4/21 A coalition pushed back on AI Data Centers and the Tech Oligarchy. The Technostate Tour marched on Meta, Open AI, Microsoft, and ended hitting Data Center World a tech elite conference in D.C. We caught them just in time to disrupt their lunch 😉. We demand a moratorium on all new data centers!

“By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists."
A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
