Worried about the data centers being forced on our communities--and the tech and fossil fuel industry giants trying to buy out our political system?
Join us to learn about how data centers, Big Tech, Big Oil, and fascism are all fueling each other--and how we can build a movement to protect our communities, our planet, and our democracy.
Topics we'll cover:
Data centers 101: What is a data center, anyway? Who is developing them? Who gets to decide where they are built? How are they impacting our energy grid, our water, and our progress on climate?
Energy Justice: How do data centers affect your energy bills? How does data center resistance connect with other community and environmental struggles around energy democracy?
Community resistance: Where are communities resisting data center projects? What organizing strategies and regulatory frameworks are out there, and what has been effective so far?
Action! How can we jump in and support community resistance to data centers?
This webinar is part of a monthly political education series on the fourth Thursday of the month to deepen our collective understanding of the role that the fossil fuel and tech industries are playing in the rise of fascism in the US.
