West Virginia, we need to step up, if you want to get involved - READ THIS!
If you do not know how to get involved, please read this. We need to understand something urgent; this is not going to go away from only voting. This will take consistent effort from every individual that cares about the future of West Virginia, and the future of our nation. Some states across the U.S are proposing bans, moratoriums, and straight out rejecting the surveillance centers. We CANNOT let this be another coal baron era. We need to unite peacefully, and not back down like the workers who marched on Blair Mountain.
We cannot continue to let these surveillance centers be imposed without the say of the citizens in WV. There are so many people in West Virginia that can, and we don't even need the full force of everyone to make an effective movement to stop the data centers. When it comes to these surveillance centers... Our Senators and Delegates have voted in ways constituents disagree with, like with HB2014, and rarely speak, advocate, or even show up to protests against data centers, let alone try to bring forth bans or moratoriums. They need to listen and represent us. And it is our civic duty as constituents to remind them. Let us remind that that voting no for the second time, does not mean things are not better.
I want to highlight what we need to do as individuals. We need to help each other. We need to speak up, even if you are scared. We need to protect each other. We need to inform ourselves about the dangers. Ask your delegates to show up to protests. We need to attend protest ourselves, and get real numbers. Imagine if everyone in this group stood together in solidarity at a protest against the corporations extracting our resources once again. We could bring a permanent change and start moving towards a better state where we don't have massive amounts of people struggling. But we need to get real about what we are doing as individuals to help.
So please. Reach out if you need help. Start today. Contact a delegate. I know some people need a date and time to plan so: Come to the protests, we have one in the Eastern Panhandles every Saturday 10am at Crossroads Convenience Store - 4081 Williamsport Pike, Martinsburg, WV 25404 what to bring? Yourself, and your energy.
These are the Delegates and Senators from the Eastern Panhandle who voted for HB 2014. Their contact information is public, and you have every right to reach out. When you do, please remain peaceful, respectful, and non‑hostile.
Tell them clearly that we do not want surveillance centers in West Virginia. Ask them to show that they care about their constituents by:
1) repealing HB 2014
2) attending the protests
3) advocating publicly for a moratorium or ban
Do not send threats. Do not use hostile language.
