Rally: No Data Centers for Billionaires

Start: Saturday, September 20, 202511:00 AM

Location:Park Ave375 Park Ave, New York, NY 10022 US

Join us for an 11-12 pm rally on 9/20 at 375 Park Ave., and then walk with our contingent for the 12 pm Make Billionaires Pay mass march!

Our rally: We’ll hear from local, state, and national organizers fighting back against Big Tech’s data centers across the country, as well as organizers and workers who are fighting to stop Big Tech from providing advanced technology to assist the Israeli military in its unconscionable genocide and forced starvation of Palestinians. We’ll get to know one another and march together with the mass mobilization at 12 pm.

Why no AI data centers? Across the US, Big Tech billionaires are racing to build out sprawling, thirsty data centers to power AI, in order to cement their wealth and power far into the future. Unless we take action now, Big Tech’s data centers will reverse hard-won climate gains, raising our energy bills, and these few corporations will continue to steer humanity’s technological progress toward a short-term, profit-driven, and increasingly militaristic vision of the future.

Right now, Big Tech is working hand in hand with the Trump administration to secure energy and land for data centers over community objections, as these corporations ink new deals to provide advanced technology to power the administration's authoritarian aims. Across the country, Big Tech is keeping coal plants open, building new gas plants, exploring nuclear energy, and demanding tax breaks—with deep consequences for our communities’ health, planet, and futures.

By working together, across the country, we have the power to stop them.

Our movement is growing across the country – email datacenters@athenaforall.org to learn more.
