Save the date and get registered! Nov 7, People Over Data Centers Summit in Baltimore.

People Over Data Centers! A Maryland conference on how to fight and win the statewide battle to protect our communities from dirty and dangerous data centers.

BREAKING: 14 Maryland counties — home to 80% of the state's population — have now hit pause on data center expansion. 🛑

From Montgomery to Dorchester, local leaders are listening to residents fed up with skyrocketing energy bills, strained water supplies, and reckless land use — and they're taking action.

This isn't a fringe issue. It's a statewide reckoning with Big Tech's unchecked growth, and it proves what we've known all along: people power works.

The momentum is building. Join us at the People Over Data Centers Maryland Action Summit on November 7th in Baltimore to help turn this local backlash into lasting statewide policy. Link in bio to register. 💡🌎

"Egregious destruction." "Completely ignoring federal laws and now the judicial process underway for East Potomac Park that challenges their actions." Ignoring the will of the people and care for our treasured and historic places and lands has to stop!

More than 500 trees have been cut down within East Potomac Park. This action isn't only alarming on behalf of the trees; it's indicative of a larger, dangerous pattern in how the administration treats our public lands and national parks.

Ed Stierli, NPCA's vice president of government relations sums it up: “This egregious destruction continues to show how the Trump administration operates as if laws don’t apply. They continue to move forward, disregarding the will of the American people for which these lands belong, completely ignoring federal laws and now the judicial process underway for East Potomac Park that challenges their actions."
