Join us on Capitol Hill to rally for a national data center moratorium!

Data centers have become a national crisis, threatening our air, water, democracy, and pocketbooks. That’s why we need national action from members of Congress all across the country.

Join us for a rally with Rep. Jim McGovern and other members of Congress, and to deliver thousands of petitions demanding a national data center moratorium.

If you’re traveling from outside the city, please identify if you have a car and are willing to lead a carpool! Please also indicate if you can stay after the rally to deliver petitions and letters to members of Congress.

This event is sponsored by the Stop Data Centers Coalition: Indiana Citizens Action Coalition, North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, Pennsylvania Physicians for Social Responsibility, Food & Water Watch, GreenLatinos, Media Justice, Our Revolution, Progressive Democrats of America, and Third Act.

Not Our Farm is looking forward to hosting a conversation about resisting the expansion of data centers from a food sovereignty and food systems perspective. We will hear from organizers and farmers organizing against the construction of data centers in their respective communities.

Data center construction has enormously expanded in scale and number over the past few years, and is closely tied to the fossil fuel industry, military and defense industries, and cryptocurrency mining. Data centers are primarily being built on or in proximity to Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities, rural and agricultural communities, and affordable housing.*

Through presentations from and conversation with our featured speakers, we will draw out the connections between the expansion of data centers, mineral extraction, land and water defense, farming, and food systems.

Speakers:

• Esperanza Chairez
• Selah Goodson Bell (No Landover Data Center Group)
• Naya Anllo-Valdo (Pueblo of Acoma)

Not Our Farm espera con entusiasmo organizar una conversación sobre cómo resistir la construcción de centros de datos desde una perspectiva de soberanía alimentaria y sistemas alimentarios. Escucharemos a organizadores y agricultores que están trabajando para detener la construcción de centros de datos en sus respectivas comunidades.

La construcción de centros de datos ha aumentado enormemente en escala y número en los últimos años, y está estrechamente vinculada con la industria de los combustibles fósiles, la industria militar y de defensa y la minería de criptomonedas. Los centros de datos se están construyendo principalmente en territorios de Naciones Tribales y comunidades indígenas, así como en comunidades rurales y agrícolas y en zonas cercanas a viviendas económicas.

A través de las presentaciones de nuestros ponentes invitades y de la conversación con elles, exploraremos las conexiones entre la expansión de los centros de datos, la extracción de minerales, la defensa de la tierra y el agua, la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios.

Tell the Senate: Strike Title II. Protect Section 106.

The Senate’s permitting bill, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA), would gut Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and put the places that tell America’s story at risk: cemeteries, battlefields, sacred sites, and the landmarks where history happened.

For sixty years, the National Historic Preservation Act has helped protect the places that tell America’s stories: Tribal sacred sites, historic neighborhoods, battlefields, burial grounds, landmarks, and the places where ordinary people made extraordinary history.

Now, those protections face one of the gravest threats in their history.

As the Senate prepares to consider legislation that would dismantle the National Historic Preservation Act, 106 Strong is calling Americans to gather at the U.S. Capitol on November 9 to stand for our history, our communities, Tribal Nations, and our right to be heard.

We are 1,000 organizations and Tribal Nations representing more than nine million Americans. We come from every corner of the country, every kind of community, and many different backgrounds. We are united by a simple conviction:

Our history belongs to all of us. No administration or Congress should be able to destroy it without listening to the people whose lives and communities it defines.

On November 9, we will bring that message directly to the nation’s capital. We invite Tribal citizens, preservationists, historians, architects, archaeologists, museum professionals, students, community advocates, and everyone who cares about America’s heritage to join us.

Scheduled guest speakers include:

• Martin Luther King III
• Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), People’s Environmental Justice Caucus
• Lynda Carter

Come to Washington. Bring your colleagues. Bring your friends. Bring the stories of the places you love.

We will gather peacefully, stand together, and call on Congress to reject legislation that weakens protections for America’s historic and cultural places.

Join us for an urgent protest to send a message to Senator Schumer and Representative Jeffries: Stop the Dirty Data Center Deal!

Congress is poised to consider legislation that would drive a massive buildout of hyperscale AI data centers and the fossil fuel infrastructure to power them.

The “Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026” rolls back key environmental laws, all but ensuring ensuring that data center and infrastructure projects are approved regardless of community opposition.

Schumer and Jeffries must block this cynical industry-backed effort to force data centers on America.

We’ll start outside of Schumer’s apartment building at 9:00 a.m., after which we’ll walk to Jeffries’ office at 55 Hanson Place arriving at 10:00 a.m.
