Sign if you agree: No new AI data centers without federal safeguards.
Data centers—the warehouses for the hardware that power modern computing and the "cloud"—have long been essential across various industries, enabling everything from video streaming and social media to artificial intelligence (AI). However, the current global AI "race" is prompting tech companies to expand these AI data centers at breakneck speed with no oversight, transparency, or accountability.
The rapid buildout of AI data centers is landing hardest on the communities that have already sacrificed the most. Everyday people are bearing the brunt: Families losing clean water access, facing 70% utility bill hikes, watching their land get swallowed without a say. Tribal Nations are seeing sacred sites bulldozed without Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. Non-disclosure agreements are being weaponized to silence communities before they even know a project is coming.1
Big Tech is moving fast and often in secrecy.1 Activists need support. Communities need safeguards. Congress must act now.

Petition language to Congress:
No industry should be allowed to reshape our land, our water, our grid, and our democracy faster than the public can respond. The world has changed. Our laws haven't kept up. More than 100 local communities across 12 states have already enacted their own moratoriums. You must pause the development of new AI centers and enact safeguards to protect our communities, water, and land.
