SUMMARY:Data Centers 101: What Communities Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Data centers are expanding rapidly across the country\, raising new questions about energy and water use\, environmental impacts\, land use\, and community decision-making. As part of the Center for Health\, Environment & Justice’s (CHEJ) ongoing training webinar series\, this special edition brings together Josephine Gingerich from Physicians for Social Responsibility – PA\, and Elissa Yoder from Halt the Harm Network for an introductory session on what residents need to know as this industry grows in their backyards. \nPresenters will explain why data centers are proliferating\, break down the environmental and health risks they pose\, and dispel common myths surrounding their development. Participants will be introduced to the Halt the Harm Network and its Stop Bad Data Centers initiative\, explore available tools and resources\, and learn the seven-gateway framework for identifying opportunities to engage throughout the data center development process. \nThis call will occur on Tuesday\, September 1st\, at 12:00 PM CT \nJosephine Gingerich (she/her) is the Health Advocacy Outreach Coordinator at Physicians for Social Responsibility PA. Josephine works with communities across the state impacted by industrial pollution or the threat of industrial buildout and coordinates the Concerned Health Professionals of PA group. In her prior work\, Josephine was a petrochemicals & pollution community organizer for PA\, OH\, and WV and was a habitat restoration specialist that worked with several conservation agencies across the country. Originally from Michigan\, Josephine has a degree in biology and chemistry from Western Michigan University. \nElissa Yoder is a nonprofit leader and campaign strategist with more than 15 years of experience in fundraising\, grassroots advocacy\, coalition building\, and program management. She currently serves as a Data Center Fellow with Halt the Harm Network\, where she supports national efforts to challenge the environmental and community impacts of AI data center expansion and fossil fuel infrastructure. Through this fellowship\, she helps coordinate a growing network of organizers\, researchers\, and advocates\, while building shared resources and strategies to support communities confronting large-scale industrial development. \nJoin our free training Tuesday\, September 1st\, at 12:00 PM CT (registration required) \nUnable to attend live? Register today\, all registrants will receive the session recording.

SUMMARY:Data Centers and Health: Advocacy\, Partnerships\, and Building Effective Coalitions
DESCRIPTION:Across the United States\, we are seeing a massive buildout of AI data centers\, and to meet their unprecedented energy demands\, a deepened dependence on fossil fuels. Health professionals are increasingly concerned about the potential harms and impacts and want to know how to respond.  \nJoin the Medical Society Consortium on Climate Change and Health\, Healthy Climate Wisconsin\, Physicians for Social Responsibility\, Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments\, and the American Public Health Association for a timely webinar series that will equip attendees with the knowledge they need to speak confidently about the health and environmental justice harms from the rapid buildout of data centers.

SUMMARY:Right-to-Know Requests That Get Results
DESCRIPTION:Sharing this webinar from Better Path Coalition! \nThis webinar will feature Pennsylvania-based examples\, but the tools and strategies covered are relevant to communities everywhere. \nWe’ve seen firsthand how much can be uncovered when communities start asking the right questions and demanding the records to back up the answers. \nOn Tuesday\, September 8 at 7 PM ET\, Better Path Coalition is hosting “Informing the Resistance: Right-to-Know Requests That Get Results\,” a webinar on how advocates and community members can use open records requests to uncover information\, hold decision-makers accountable\, and strengthen their organizing. \nConcerned Citizens of Montour County recently demonstrated just how powerful this tool can be. Their Right-to-Know request produced documents revealing details about the Shapiro administration’s communications and relationship with data center developers\, including Amazon. \nColby Wesner\, co-founder of Concerned Citizens of Montour County\, will walk through what went into preparing their request\, what they received\, and how they approached analyzing the results. \nAnneke van Rossum\, Advocacy and Advancement Coordinator with Delaware Riverkeeper Network\, will then provide practical guidance on filing effective Right-to-Know requests of your own\, including what to ask for and how to increase your chances of getting useful results. \nWhether you’re organizing around data centers\, pipelines\, fracking\, LNG exports\, pollution\, or another local issue\, this is a skill worth having in your toolbox. Please feel free to share this invitation with others who may be interested! \nRegister: bit.ly/BPPRTK    \nShare the Facebook Event

SUMMARY:Impact of Data Centers On Land\, Water\, Health\, and Affordability
DESCRIPTION:The United States is expanding data centers to feed AI faster than any nation. Many in Appalachian states are already driving up the cost of power and water\, causing new pollution and rolling back clean energy. Join a conversation to plan how we can respond to the expansion.

SUMMARY:Data Centers: Community-Led Advocacy to Real Solutions presented by Southern Environmental Law Center
DESCRIPTION:You can’t talk about data centers without talking about the South. Our region has become the largest hub for these facilities in the U.S.\, and communities — from city neighborhoods to rural towns — are feeling the impact. Hear how grassroots organizers are pushing for change not only at the local level but calling for more transparency and national policy action. \nPhoto courtesy of: Southern Environmental Law Center
