More expensive electricity bills. Sleep disruption. Dirty water.
It’s real and it’s happening, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Attend Decoding Data Center: The Real Impact on Communities, presented by SUN and the local NAACP, on Thursday, September 10 from 6-8 pm at Scarritt Bennett Center. Hear from researchers and experts who’ve tracked this topic for years. Our health, wellbeing, and futures depend on us being informed and standing up.

As technology infrastructure expands, many of you, along with your neighbors and fellow community members, have the same questions:
1️⃣ How does it impact our community?
2️⃣ How are others fighting back?

We’re bringing the answers in partnership with the NAACP Nashville Branch on Thursday, September 10 from 6-8 pm, in Scarritt Bennett Center’s Harambee Auditorium.

The forum will feature experts from across the country to answer your questions and share their insights. Together, we’ll explore the realities of data centers, including their environmental footprint, economic influence, and what their rapid expansion means for the future of our neighborhoods and metro areas.
