Tell Congress: Stop Big Tech’s Data Center Land Grab

Rep. Ro Khanna just introduced a Data Center Bill of Rights — and Congress must pass it before Big Tech bulldozes more communities into accepting massive AI data centers they never asked for.

The bill would give communities the power to reject harmful data centers, require transparency and independent impact studies, protect families and small businesses from higher utility bills, safeguard local water supplies, and stop companies from hiding the true costs of these projects.

That protection is urgently needed. Big Tech is racing to build AI data centers across the country while residents are kept in the dark about who is behind them, how much electricity and water they will use, and whether families will be stuck with higher bills.

Tell Congress: Pass the Data Center Bill of Rights and stop Big Tech from forcing costly AI infrastructure onto communities without consent.

AI companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI have the money to build responsibly. But without federal guardrails, they will keep pushing the costs and risks onto the public while keeping the profits for themselves.

Even Trump reportedly considered issuing an executive order to regulate AI companies — then backed down after pressure from Silicon Valley. And AI backers are projected to spend over $185 million to buy more power in the midterm elections.

That is why we need to put our own pressure on Congress to act right now.

Add your name now and demand Congress pass the Data Center Bill of Rights before more communities are forced to pay the price.

The petition to Congress reads: “Pass the Data Center Bill of Rights to give communities the power to reject harmful AI data centers, require full transparency and independent impact studies, protect households and small businesses from higher utility bills, safeguard local water supplies, and stop Big Tech from forcing costly projects onto communities without consent.”
