What is a data center? According to MediaJustice a data center is: The physical manifestation of our digital activity. They are giant warehouses full of computer servers, chips, and equipment that power AI and other technologies. Consume insatiable amounts of finite resources, including electricity, water, infrastructure, and land. They exacerbate pollution and destroy necessary ecosystems, leaving local communities to shoulder the environmental and economic costs while tech corporations and their investors profit. Data centers harm Black, brown, and working class communities. They drain natural resources, energy, and clean water; hike up utility bills; and provide infrastructure for enhanced surveillance and further criminalization of our communities. From Memphis, TN, to Tarboro, NC communities across the South are resisting data centers and we want to join the ranks of the resistance.
