All across North Carolina, communities are pushing back against the impacts of data centers. We need leadership from our state legislators on issues like high electric bills, water usage, non-disclosure agreements, toxic chemicals, air pollution, lack of jobs, surveillance, and noise pollution.
Join together with communities from across North Carolina to lobby your state senator and state representative to protect our communities from the impact of data centers!
Folks will meet throughout the day with their legislators, make it when you can.
