The word on the street is . Our crew has been walking door to door informing residents about upcoming meetings concerning data center development in their neighborhood. Our first milestone, a TCEQ meeting resulted in over 100 resident participants and around 40 speakers. We turn our sites on the connection between data centers and the upcoming rate hikes.

We need your help moving. In an effort to cut administrative costs and focus funds to advance programs, we will be moving out of our temporary workspace/storage until we are able to move back into the renovated building.

Please amplify and share. All are welcome to join us in our moving party.

Necesitamos su ayuda a mover. En un esfuerzo por reducir los costos administrativos y destinar los fondos al avance de nuestros programas, nos trasladaremos fuera de nuestro espacio temporal de trabajo y almacenamiento hasta que podamos regresar al edificio renovado.

Por favor, difundan y compartan. Todos son bienvenidos a unirse a nosotros en nuestra fiesta de mudanza.

This , we remember the importance of clean air, water, and land. Data center expansion and the AI race is putting our children’s livelihoods on the line. Did you know that data centers will drain our clean water supplies, increase our energy bills, and pollute our air, putting our health in jeopardy? Learn more on the data centers page of the Climate Justice Alliance website. Our community’s heartbeat is more important than a data center’s hum.

En este , recordamos la importancia del aire, el agua y la tierra limpios. La expansión de los centros de datos y la carrera por la IA están poniendo en riesgo el futuro de nuestros hijos. ¿Sabías que los centros de datos agotarán nuestras reservas de agua limpia, aumentarán nuestras facturas de energía y contaminarán nuestro aire, poniendo en peligro nuestra salud? Obtén más información en la página sobre centros de datos del sitio web de la Climate Justice Alliance. El latido de nuestra comunidad es más importante que el zumbido de un centro de datos.

We’re kicking off with a simple truth: our community’s heartbeat matters more than a data center’s hum. We need investments in health, schools, clean energy, and good jobs—not projects that bring crisis and chaos.

We asked for investments in health and well-being, not handouts to billionaires. Yet, data centers are being built to serve the tech giants and the global AI race, not communities. This means water shortages, energy rate hikes, expansion of dangerous and dirty energy, and noise, air, and land pollution for the rest of us. The truth is: We will always need clean air, water, and land. This join us and send a clear message to our local and state officials: It’s time to .

Pedimos inversiones en salud y bienestar, no dádivas para los multimillonarios. Sin embargo, se están construyendo centros de datos para servir a los gigantes tecnológicos y a la carrera global de la IA, no a las comunidades. Esto significa escasez de agua, aumentos en las tarifas energéticas, la expansión de energías peligrosas y contaminantes, y contaminación acústica, atmosférica y del suelo para el resto de nosotros. La verdad es esta: siempre necesitaremos aire, agua y tierra limpios. En esta , únete a nosotros y envía un mensaje claro a nuestros funcionarios locales y estatales: es hora de
