Please join us to learn about “Data Centers and their impact on health and climate,” at our next Third Act Wisconsin statewide meeting. Find about the threats to local communities from unchecked expansion of hyperscale data centers, from increasing air pollution to rising electricity prices. Learn how local communities can take action to protect themselves.

Our speaker will be Dr. Brittany Keyes, the Clean Air Policy Manager at Health Climate Wisconsin, a climate organization of healthcare professionals. Brittany is a mom and former local-elected official from Beloit, Wisconsin, who brings her experience, expertise, and energy to advocate for clean air in communities across Wisconsin.  

This statewide meeting also gives us a chance to be in community with other Third Actors in Wisconsin.
