Data center

Reflection. Slowness. Rest. Recovery. Big Tech does NOT want organizers to be healthy and well — because when we are rested and energized, our movement is more powerful. So let’s rebel and rest together! NC AI Data Center Accountability Network is introducing a peer support group for activists who seek to grow in their mental wellbeing and emotional resilience while organizing against the unique material, psychological, and existential threats of AI data centers and mass surveillance. This peer group will meet x4 Nov-Dec over Zoom at a time that works best for folks. It will be capped at 12 participants, first come first served. Topics and activities could include a guided lovingkindness meditation, peer discussion of anxiety coping techniques, or even simply stretching together. Joanna Rutter, NCEJN intern and UNC MSW student, will facilitate as a peer member, supervised by Jay Jahnes, LCSW. Interested to learn more? Sign up at the link in bio and Joanna will reach out shortly.

The NC AI Data Center Accountability Network sent a questionnaire, several times, to every NC candidate in the 2026 elections including US House and Senate, NC House and Senate, County Commissioners, and City Council Members. We received an 11% response rate! The low response rate reveals the reluctance from candidates to go on the record on this critical issue. As of this week, the dataset represents 112 candidates. Here is the breakdown #northcarolina For other political affiliations: All 4 Green submissions supported a moratorium, and water and energy caps, and 3 supported an outright ban. Among the 6 Unaffiliated/Independent submissions, all supported water and energy caps, while 5 supported a moratorium Of the 7 Libertarian candidates, 5 supported continued development and 6 supported rescinding tax incentives. for the full report : tinyurl.com/NCAIDC-POSITION

NCEJN is airborne! Last Friday, our staff Dr. Valerie Ann Johnson and Corey Curtis joined Larry Baldwin from the NC Environmental Advocacy Corps and Rolf Wallin from SouthWings on a flyover across Central NC. Environmental survey flyovers in small passenger planes like this are a great tool to document environmental injustice and collect information to inform EJ organizing. It allowed us to travel rapidly across the state, destinations included a Fred Smith Asphalt plant, Taylortown NC, Enviva wood pellet mill, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) & associated waste lagoons, and the Amazon data center in development in Richmond county. The sheer scale of these operations was shocking from our perspective ~1000ft in the air. Seeing industrial activity from this new angle painted a clear picture of just how close polluting facilities are clustered relative to each other and nearby homes. It also allowed us to get a peek into operations happening on otherwise private property, and observe construction progress of incoming polluting industries. Some of the pictures that we took during the flyover will be shared with nearby community members and used to inform their organizing strategy. We’d like to give a huge thank you to Larry, our Pilot Rolf, and @southwings; Thanks to them, we were in great hands and had a blast!

Press conference before the public hearing on air quality permits for an Amazon data center in a county that rates as second least healthy county in NC. The Richmond County community just discovered that there is a second data center coming! This community has dealt with so many polluting industries. No more! The Richmond County community says No to Amazon’s 800 acre, 20 building, and over 580 diesel generators!
