Progressive leaders are stepping up to ensure the future of AI works for people — not just Big Tech. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have introduced bold legislation to pause the construction of new AI datacenters, creating space for strong federal safeguards that protect our environment, lower costs for families, and defend workers and communities. As AI rapidly reshapes our economy and daily lives, this proposal recognizes a simple truth: we cannot allow unchecked corporate power to dictate the future without oversight, accountability, and public input. From rising energy costs to environmental harm and job displacement, the stakes are too high to ignore. This is about putting people first — ensuring innovation is responsible, benefits are shared, and our democracy is protected from the risks of unregulated technology. Add your name to applaud these leaders for taking action and demanding a safer, fairer future for all.
