Halting Data Center Development

Communities across the nation are fighting the rapid growth of data centers that power artificial intelligence. These data centers raise local energy and water bills, generate massive amounts of air and noise pollution, and contribute few jobs or economic benefits. They also rely on fossil fuels and threaten local ecosystems, exacerbating climate change and environmental devastation. These petitions give ordinary people a voice to stand up to policymakers and tech giants. Their demands range from transparency to regulation, zoning changes to taxation, and sometimes completely obstructing the data center from being built.
