Photo 1: Our faces after the New York State Legislature passed a one-year moratorium on new data centers! 🎉 Photo 2: Our faces while we wait for @governor.ny.gov to SIGN 👏 THE 👏 BILL 👏

All the more reason to invest in public green spaces!

Yes, there are things we can do to reduce exposure to PFAS chemicals, but it shouldn't be all on us! Trump's EPA wants to leave us with poisoned water by gutting PFAS protections. Tell them that's unacceptable: https://fwwat.ch/42PjPA0

New Yorkers need @governor.ny.gov to sign this moratorium into law!

Do these lawmakers want their constituents to have to pay sky-high utility prices? Because that's what happens when they block renewables!

Another city rejects data centers! We're proud to have played a part in organizing opposition to a proposed data center earlier this year, and we'll continue working against this exploitative industry. Onward!

Don't believe any claims about affordability from this deregulation-obsessed administration.

BREAKING: The New York State Legislature just passed a one-year pause on the construction of new data centers 🙌 This win wouldn’t have been possible without loud opposition from communities resisting these extractive facilities. We’re grateful to everyone who’s joined us in this important fight!

📆🚨Tomorrow🚨📆 is the deadline to tell the EPA to add microplastics to the Sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule! This would be significantly improve regulation for these particles and help keep our drinking water safe. Speak out: https://fwwat.ch/4sHKf1Q

What were tech CEOs saying about how AI is good for the economy, again?

What a time to have totally defunded public health and food safety agencies! 😬🙃

One community member sums it up well: “I don’t feel like I should have to be emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically exhausted because some millionaire wants to dump blood on fields because it’s a cheap way to dispose of it."

City by city, people are rising up and saying NO to the exploitative expansion of data centers.

This research is badly needed, and it must be paired with action.

Trump is raking in BILLIONS from his AI-powered meme coin, so it should come as no surprise that tech companies are taking advantage of having a data center-friendly administration in office. But that doesn’t make it any less infuriating! 😤

No, solar energy will not threaten your potato chips. We're used to dishonesty from the anti-renewables lobby, but this is absurd.

Glad to have worked with @moreperfectunion.bsky.social on this 💜 We’ve been working to protect clean water in Iowa for years and we’re proud to be part of this important fight. Read more about our work to demand accountability for Big Ag’s pesticide harms here: fwwat.ch/4g0mSNn

The fight for a data center moratorium has real momentum, so let's get involved and keep building power! Next Thursday, we're joining an amazing coalition of climate organizations to stop this exploitative industry at every level. See you there! https://www.mobilize.us/fww/event/952496/

LGBTQ climate leadership is nothing new!

Disincentivizing solar makes zero sense.

This is a great way to support a livable future for our kids while they enjoy their summer break!

Apparently it's not enough for this administration to be anti-climate; it also has to be anti-data.

Our stance on nuclear hasn’t changed: it’s a dangerous, expensive climate scam. Join our team of experts and Tim Judson of @nirsnet.bsky.social for this month’s Livable Future Live on June 17 at 7PM ET to learn more: https://fwwat.ch/4uZnze8

As people pay ever-higher gas prices, Big Oil profits off of everyone else's pain. We're calling on Congress to hold exploitative industries accountable by passing the Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026 and the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act. Add your support: https://fwwat.ch/4wBOLS5

Happy Pride from us and these BI-sons! 🏳️‍🌈🦬

We're working hard to pass a national moratorium on AI data centers. We're thankful for our allies at the state level like @sengonzalezny.bsky.social and Assemblymember Didi Barrett for proposing this commonsense legislation!

These disaster preparation tips are useful, but let's also remember that our leaders really should be providing much more reliable institutional support to people who face climate disasters. We can't just leave this to individuals!

Forcing a coal plant to remain open when it hasn't even been operating is beyond wasteful and petty.

Imagine what we could accomplish if we spent this money on the resources that people really need.

The last thing we need is more deregulation for Big Tech, but that's exactly what Trump's EPA is trying to do. Say NO to rolling back air permitting requirements for data centers: https://fwwat.ch/3PXSEQx

We can and should use renewables to build out systems to keep people safer from climate crises.

Strong public transit systems benefit everyone - including World Cup fans! ⚽🚆

Between weather conditions and reduced funding for firefighters, the upcoming fire season could be worse than last year's.

A planned Bitcoin mining data center in Kentucky estimates that it will use as much power as 800,000 HOMES 😳 The fact that any company thinks that’s acceptable is truly astonishing – and just proves that all they care about is profits. https://fwwat.ch/4fQkvN3

Cancelling these grants is "yet another setback for Black farmers."

Some of our wonderful volunteers joined us at an art build on Friday. Organizing for a more livable future involves quite a bit of paint!

🎧 PODCAST 🎧 Our Policy Director Jim Walsh sat down with @theintercept.com to chat about Kevin O’Leary’s massive Stratos data center in Utah and O’Leary’s false narrative that people protesting it are “bussed in” or connected to China. This lie isn’t just absurd – it’s dangerous!

When mega-corporation Amazon tried to build a data center in Montour County, PA, residents and activists fought back – and WON 🙌 This victory is yet another example of how people are saying NO to Big Tech’s attempts to profit at the expense of our water, climate and communities!

Microbeads are banned in Illinois, and they're one kind of microplastics *not* found in the Mississippi River. This means we need to keep pushing for more regulations! Tell the EPA to increase monitoring of microplastics: https://fwwat.ch/4sHKf1Q

Don't believe anyone who claims that these rollbacks are about affordability.

Balcony solar is friendly to our planet and our wallets! ☀️

This administration is taking food away from people who need it. That's not 'the American dream'; it's a cruel nightmare.

More evidence that exposure to air pollution harms kids and adults throughout their lives:

Check out this episode about the organizing efforts against data centers, featuring our Policy Director Jim Walsh. Thanks so much @theintercept.com for elevating this important fight and for inviting us to be part of the conversation!

Corporations are desperate for legal immunity to produce and spray probable-carcinogens like glyphosate. That can't be allowed to happen. Tell your Reps to support the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act: https://fwwat.ch/3QkJmhs

Ben Murray, one of our Senior Researchers, has joined the fight against data centers in the Ohio River Valley - and they're making progress! A developer in Sprigg Township has agreed to a voluntary pause, and Monroe Township has passed a one-year moratorium.

Raising kids is already challenging before you add in worries about environmental illness.

There's nothing responsible about this plan, which still supports exploitation by Big Tech. A moratorium on AI data center expansion is still the best solution.

This data center plant is operating with the sort of low-level, no-public-input-required permit authorization "more commonly associated with laundromats." That's downright offensive to local communities who now face significant climate and health risks.

A report from Europe's heat waves: "The next years won’t be about fun times on the beach, but will be increasingly intolerable.”
