The Danik Data Center popped up almost overnight at a time when our community is currently in the midst of an Authorized Hearing. This just proves our point and shows the negative impact of having industrial zoning near residential homes.

This small modular data center is the alarm bell that could lead to a much greater issue within Dallas so Justice for Joppa/Justicia para Joppa community group is calling for a press conference in front of the Danik Data Center, 10 AM on October 1st.

We're almost at our giving day goal!
Every dollar we raise goes to grassroots environmental justice fights in Dallas-Fort Worth. Your dollar stays hyperlocal and supports campaigns for cleaner air in North Texas.

As data center developments continue to expand in DFW, we need your support to continue good trouble. Environmental justice is a civil right!

To continue to do this work, we need your help!! A donation of $5, $20, $50, or more all helps us make change in a major way. Small stuff adds!

While Joppa is working to rectify its zoning to address the racial injustices of industrial adjacency near its borders, a data center will be built at the same time. This threatens to entrench industrial uses in the community for several more generations. Since Joppa neighborhood is already industrial zoning, community members weren’t notified.

We show you the pollution that is hidden to the naked eye but is polluting these communities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Part 6... Toxic Twins Campaign Engagement Series

The Action!!! The Time for Dallas to remove TAMKO and GAF is now!

For the first time the removal of GAF and TAMKO will be discussed by Dallas City Council. The first step will happen at the Economic Development Committee this Monday, April 6th at 1pm (Feel free to watch on dallascitynews.et) The committee will pick a consultant to evaluate the market value of each company.

Transparency throughout this process is key, in fighting inflated amounts to remove the facilities, like the City Hall issue happening now!

Tune in on Monday and DM us if you want to get Active!
