  5. Discover how data centers affect local communities, from rising utility costs to environmental concerns.

    May 11

    Discover how data centers affect local communities, from rising utility costs to environmental concerns.

    Happy Monday, folks. We hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day weekend.  Last week, the team talked about recent  #Michigan wins and future actions! As utility rates soar, it's ironic that corporations aren't feeling the pinch—residents are! This is a triple whammy: pollution, rising costs, and resource depletion. And while we struggle, these data centers are draining the very water we need to survive.  But please remember, when we organize, we win! Keep pushing for local action and stay informed. Together, we can make a difference!  #PeopleWaterBoard #DataCenterResistance #ActivismMatters #CommunityPower #WaterCrisis #waterislife #waterisahumanright
