SUMMARY:You Passed a Data Center Moratorium. Now What?
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of communities across the US have passed or are considering data center moratoriums. But once that pause is in place\, what happens next? \nThis workshop explores the policy tools and organizing strategies to build lasting protections\, so moratoriums build momentum rather than cementing the status quo. \nWe will feature case studies from local organizers\, review policy approaches\, highlight strategies to counter industry retaliation\, and hold breakout discussions for participants to workshop their specific challenges and questions. \n​RSVP here.​

SUMMARY:EPA Comment Party
DESCRIPTION:The EPA is proposing to eliminate minimum federal public participation requirements for many “minor source” air pollution permits—the very permits often used for diesel backup generators at data centers. If adopted\, communities could lose guaranteed notice and the opportunity to comment before new pollution sources are approved. \nJoin us for a Comment Party designed to help you learn about the proposed rule and submit your comments before the August 21 deadline. \nOur hosts\, Annie Fox (Clean Air Council) and Malachi Key (Air Alliance Houston) will present on the proposed change and why it matters to communities facing data center development. \nThe rest of our time will be spent writing and submitting our comments\, with staff on hand to provide technical assistance and review. \nWe’re hosting two sessions to accommodate as many supporters as possible. \n​RSVP for Friday\, August 14th session.​ \n​RSVP for Monday\, August 17th session.

SUMMARY:Full Disclosure: Data Centers\, NDAs\, and Transparency
DESCRIPTION:When public officials sign legally binding non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with data center companies\, they cut communities out of the conversation. Left in the dark\, residents get no chance to negotiate for things like community benefits\, pollution safeguards\, or water & energy use agreements. They may not even know the name of the company building the data center. \nJoin us\, along with ReImagine Appalachia\, to learn what an NDA is\, why it matters\, critical information that NDAs often keep hidden\, and which pushback efforts have been effective against NDAs at local and state levels. \n​RSVP here.​

SUMMARY:Fracking Fuels Data Centers – Protective Buffers Make Communities Safer
DESCRIPTION:Join the Protective Buffers PA coalition on Wednesday\, July 29\, at 7 p.m. for a discussion on how the proposed AI data center buildout in Pennsylvania could lead to more fracking in our communities. \nRegister here! \nYou’ll hear from experts about the risks that increased fracking poses to human health and the environment\, and why increased protective buffer distances from new fracking wells are needed more than ever. Importantly\, you’ll learn about how you can join the movement working to better protect our communities. \nProtective Buffers PA is a coalition of advocates currently petitioning the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to increase the minimum allowed distances (or\, “protective buffers”) between new fracking well pads and our homes\, schools\, businesses\, and waterways. While the DEP considers the petition\, we need your help to demonstrate that there is broad support for this protective change. \nRegister today for the July 29 webinar! \n

SUMMARY:Bring Your Own New Clean Energy: Powering PA's Data Center Energy Demand
DESCRIPTION:As electricity demand rises across Pennsylvania—driven in part by the rapid growth of energy-hungry data centers—policymakers face an important choice: invest in clean energy or continue relying on costly\, polluting fossil fuels. \nJoin PennFuture for the release of our latest white paper and hear from Senior Director for Energy and Climate Rob Altenburg about why renewable energy and battery storage are the most effective solutions for meeting growing energy demand. Learn how Pennsylvania can strengthen grid reliability\, lower costs for everyday Pennsylvanians\, and ensure that new energy demand from data centers is met with clean energy—not more fossil fuels.
