No Tech For Apartheid Campaign

Rally to Fight AI Data Centers !

NEW YORK CITY—The resistance to Big Tech’s data centers is growing. Join us this Saturday 9/20 for a rally ahead of the Make Billionaires Pay march to expose the threat data centers pose to our climate, energy costs, and futures. Location & time: 375 Park Ave. @ 11-12 pm! We’ll hear from local, state, and national organizers fighting back against Big Tech’s data centers across the country. In solidarity with the @bds.movement’s #DisruptComplicity weekend of action, we’ll also hear the connection of local fights against data centers here in the US to Big Tech’s powering of Israel’s AI-assisted genocide in Gaza. We’ll be joined by tech workers with @notechforapartheid who are fighting to stop their Big Tech bosses from providing advanced AI technology to assist the Israeli military in its unconscionable genocide and forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. RSVP here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/rally-no-data-centers-for-billionaires Why no AI data centers? Across the US, Big Tech billionaires are racing to build out sprawling, thirsty data centers to power AI, in order to cement their wealth and power far into the future. Unless we take action now, Big Tech’s data centers will reverse hard-won climate gains, raising our energy bills, and these few corporations will continue to steer humanity’s technological progress toward a short-term, profit-driven, and increasingly militaristic vision of the future. Right now, Big Tech is working hand in hand with the Trump administration to secure energy and land for data centers over community objections, as these corporations ink new deals to provide advanced technology to power the administration’s authoritarian aims. Across the country, Big Tech is keeping coal plants open, building new gas plants, exploring nuclear energy, and demanding tax breaks—with deep consequences for our communities’ health, planet, and futures. By working together, across the country, we have the power to stop them.
