Lancaster Stands Up

06/01/2026

Pride is not just a time of celebration or remembrance, it is resistance. In a time where our people are being targeted and policed - to exist and to show our pride is our resistance. They are trying to erase our history, and our people but you can’t erase what has always been here and will continue to be.

We will be present at Lititz Pride, June 6 & Lancaster Pride June 20. We hope to see you there. No matter how you choose to honor the month, publicly or privately; remember to celebrate your right to be yourself, support others in the community who may need it, be observant to keep yourself, and others as safe as possible. Remember that you are not alone. So if you feel like you are alone, reach out! Let community members support you! Our rights matter! Our community matters! You matter and we are glad you are here!

Tech Billionaires want us to give up in advance, but Columbia just proved that when we stand together, when we refuse to back down, we WIN. With weeks notice our team canvassed, phonebanked, and talked to as many residents as we could. Yesterday showed the results that when we organize we can make things happen.

This couldn’t have happened without the community coming together and opposing this sale. Even when they told people to exit the building people didn’t leave, we stood together in the parking lot listening and anxiously waiting! Together we won! Congrats to the people of Columbia, and Columbia Borough Council, for saying NO to hyperscale data centers! Our fight is not over but last night we stopped the sale of McGinness to big tech! Our fight is not over there is still work to be done, but this is a victory nonetheless

“We have worked our ass off to afford our beautiful home and we love our neighborhood. And we would really like it to be something positive [to move into this property].” — Travis McCarty

Our community deserves development that adds to our quality of life — not a data center pushed into our neighborhood without real accountability.

If you haven’t yet, please take 30 seconds to sign the petition in our bio to help stop this data center from being built here. Share this reel, tag a neighbor, and let’s show up together.

Working families over big tech. Neighbors over data centers.
