October 26 is just a few weeks before important decisions are due on whether corporations can build a massive web of new fossil fuel infrastructure and data centers in North Carolina and could force us to pay for it.

Join us for a community gathering at NC Freedom Park for an afternoon of speakers, music, art, fun for kids, and powerbuilding!

Special guests Giant Robot Fight Club.  

Who will win? Team CEO Billionaires or THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA?

Why?
— We’re facing higher electric bills, climate disasters, and a rising cost of living. Our workers and communities deserve higher wages and healthy communities. We won’t pay for pipelines and data centers!

Governor Stein and decisionmakers need to put communities ahead of corporate profit. We’re telling them to:

–    Reject new permits for fossil fuel pipelines and gas power plants
–    Raise wages, not electric bills
–    Make big tech and gas giants pay, and give communities the final say
–    Protect workers and communities from heat, disasters, and AI taking jobs
–    Ensure any new data centers are powered by clean energy!

Bring signs. No stick holding placards please! Refreshments provided!
