Concerned about the unchecked growth of data centers?

So are we! That’s why we worked with our partners—Healthy Climate Wisconsin, Sierra Club Wisconsin, and Wisconsin’s Greenfire—to create a new toolkit. It’s packed with information and resources that will help you ask informed questions, evaluate project proposals, and engage with local officials. 

Whether you’re concerned about energy use, water resources, local planning decisions, or transparency in government, this webinar will equip you with knowledge and resources to understand the issues and protect your community.

Join us on Tuesday, January 13 at 6 p.m. as we walk through the toolkit and how to use it as a practical guide for local action. 

Our panel of speakers will:

  • Explain the environmental, economic, and public-rights implications of unchecked data center development.
  • Share tools and strategies for organizing, advocacy, and community engagement.
  • Answer your questions.
