This week of action will be full of opportunities for Texans from every part of the state and all backgrounds to make our voices heard about the ways that the rapid expansion of data centers is harming communities and the environment. There will be a combination of in-person actions to take - at the Capitol or wherever you live - and things to do from the comfort of your home. RSVP to the week of action and we'll send you details about each activity. You can participate in some or all, as you are able.
