TOMORROW IN GREENSBORO!
Come listen to Dr. Rania Masri, Dir. of Organizing and Policy, NC Environmental Justice Network speak on the dangers of large data centers and what we can do to stop them from harming our communities. This is a bipartisan event--elected officials from both parties are invited to attend. The issues:
Higher electric bills
Air pollution
Water pollution
Noise pollution
Extreme water consumption (1 - 5 million gallons a day)
Duke Energy will need to build more infrastructure to support these proposed data centers, causing our electric bills to rise.
We CAN make a change for the better for our communities. Come find out how and bring a friend! This is a hybrid event—see graphic for livestream QR Code, and link below.

We need you to tell lawmakers to fix the "Ratepayer Protection Act" NOW! Once the bill has been heard on Tuesday, it may move fast - so we want to start educating every member of the House now, before they are asked to vote for it.

Please use our Action Alert to contact your member of the NC House right now to urge them to Remove Section 10:

Tonight on behalf of the Greensboro branch of the NAACP, Thomas Paylor delivered a letter to the Guilford County Board of Commissioners encouraging the County to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050. We are so grateful for this support for our clean energy initiative and the opportunity to work together to improve the quality of life for all residents in Guilford County.
