Dallas groups aim to inform residents on the impacts of data centers at film screening and community discussion. —Texas Organizing Project
Texas Organizing Project (TOP), Sunrise Movement Dallas, Southern Sector Rising, and Downwinders at Risk will host a free film screening followed by a discussion about data centers today, June 11 at 6 p.m. at the Texas Theatre.
Data centers are being built at a rapid pace all across the country. Texas currently is the fastest-growing data center market in the U.S., and with reports of health, infrastructure, and resource concerns stemming from the building of these centers, a growing number of residents are weary about what these facilities mean for themselves and their families.
The discussion will be led by a panel including Clay Jenkins (Dallas County Judge), Keshaun Pearson (Executive Director of Memphis Community Against Pollution), Danny Cendejas (Campaign Specialist with Media Justice), and Kendra Seawright (Women’s March Rural Organizer) – hitting on the impacts data centers are having on communities, as well as what people are doing nationwide to push back and address these impacts.
