We know the attacks on democracy that happen in the South ripple across the nation, and the expansion of data centers that endanger Black, brown & working class communities follow this trend.

Check out the powerful report from @mediajustice.bsky.social:

TODAY, we're launching The People Say No: Resisting Data Centers in the South, our report dedicated to exposing data center harms in the South and how our people are fighting back.

Read the full report, including case studies from 5 southern states:

The graphic is divided in two sides: on the left we have a sort of environmental utopia with wide canyons and folks in a canoe going by a stream. On the right we have the alternative, rows of data center equipment with endless wiring.

Text on white background In this Bicentennial year, we may not all participate in the festivities with flag-waving fervor. Some may more quietly commemorate the suffering, struggle, and sacrifice that has triumphed over much of what was wrong with the original document, and observe the anniversary with hopes not realized and promises not fulfilled. -- Thurgood Marshall, May 6, 1987 Full remarks https://scholarship.law.vanderbilt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2686&context=vlr

There is power in naming ourselves and living out our declarations. What is your “I am”?

The people of Louisiana are leading a powerful crusade for fair district maps and equitable representation for Black communities. The Fifth Circuit Court recently struck down a racially discriminatory map as it violates protections in the Voting Rights Act. Now the battle heads to the Supreme Court.
