The Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, would pause the explosive growth of AI data centers until Congress puts real safeguards in place — and we need it passed now. Across the country, these facilities are driving up electricity demand, and experts warn that rising power use is already increasing costs for working families. Communities are also raising alarms about water use, pollution, and local health impacts. At the same time, Americans are increasingly concerned about how rapidly advancing AI could displace jobs without protections in place. Without action, Big Tech will continue building unchecked — locking in higher energy costs, environmental damage, and economic disruption. Public pressure can stop this. Congress acts when constituents demand accountability, and this is a critical moment. Every signature sends a clear message: protect people, not corporate profits. This petition will be delivered directly to congressional leadership and key committees overseeing energy and technology policy, demanding immediate action before more projects are approved. The Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act is a necessary first step to hit pause and give Congress time to establish strong rules that protect our communities. Tell Congress: pass the AI Data Center Moratorium Act now. Protect our communities, our jobs, and our future. Sign and share today before it’s too late.
