The cost of living crisis is growing by the day – and now almost a quarter of Americans can't afford to pay their utility bills in full.
It's not hard to see what's happening: massive new data centers are popping up across the country – and as demand for electricity skyrockets, utility companies are passing the cost on to all of us.
Bernie is once again leading the charge to fight back – pushing for a nationwide moratorium on new data centers – and now more and more progressives in Congress are standing up with him.
Momentum is growing, but to force real action, we need massive public outcry. Will you add your name to stand with Bernie and demand a National Data Center Moratorium today?
Artificial intelligence and tech advancements are racing ahead, fueling profits for tech giants. But communities across the country – and the world – are paying the price.
From companies like Anthropic and OpenAI publicly sparing over conditions for Defense Department work to questions about whether AI was at least in part to blame for the U.S. hitting a girls elementary school in Iran, killing 175 civilians, it's clear we need to address how these growing threats will impact our world.
At the same time, as new data centers pop up seemingly everywhere, communities are facing industrial-scale water use draining already scarce local supply, rising carbon pollution, and constant industrial noise and loss of land zoned for homes or farms.
These aren't isolated stories. They're a warning about what happens if Big Tech is allowed to build wherever and whenever it wants. And now Bernie has a smart proposal to hit pause on the building of new data centers that are driving up electricity demand.
He's not saying we don't need technology. He's saying we need a plan – and real protections for people, not profits for Big Tech. Our communities deserve clean water, affordable power, and a say in what gets built on our land.
Will you sign on now to raise your voice for a national moratorium and demand Congress act with urgency?
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
