Councilmember Carroll Fife is introducing a data center moratorium resolution to the City of Oakland. On Tuesday, September 22 the resolution will go to the Life Enrichment Committee--then it may be voted on by the full City Council as soon as September 29. Join us in emailing our councilmembers to urge them to pass a data center moratorium in Oakland!

The rapid deployment of data centers driven by the generative AI boom is a great threat to communities across the country, especially Oakland, which already faces industrial and commercial pollution that disproportionately impacts lower income, BIPOC residents. Without immediate action, an AI data center in Oakland could guzzle water unsustainably, keep fossil fuels online, drive more pollution, and raise your electricity bills.

You can send a letter to your Councilmember here - then join us for a rally at City Hall on Tuesday, September 22 at 3 pm!
