A 2025 NAACP resolution addressing data centers' impact on energy demand, water resources, and frontline communities. The resolution calls for community benefits agreements, congressional legislation mandating transparency in water and energy usage, state and local benchmarks for environmental accountability, and community-led monitoring of pollution and emissions. It highlights cases like xAI's unpermitted gas turbines in South Memphis, Tennessee, and the broader pattern of data center siting in low-income communities.
