Before we head offline to rest and restore, let’s rewind 2025 and take a look at all we accomplished together with our community. ⏪✨ From all of us at MediaJustice, we wish you a rejuvenating holiday season and we’ll be back online on January 2nd.

🙄 TIME’s Person of the Year shows the real danger that comes from tech media ownership: legacy media institutions and platforms now serve as propaganda microphones for tech billionaires — all while sidelining our communities. This is why we need independent media owned by and for our communities!

AI is touted as the innovation for the future, but poses significant risk to the health of our communities. MediaJustice advocates for communities nationwide to push back against AI data center expansion: nonprofitquarterly.org/how-mediajus... @myaishahayes.bsky.social @mediajustice.bsky.social #AI

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Being a Spotify customer in 2025 is nothing to celebrate, that’s why we’re calling on listeners, musicians, and labels to commit to boycotting Spotify instead of providing free PR through sharing their Wrapped content. Drop Spotify: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/spot...

Our Sr. Movement Building Director, @myaishahayes.bsky.social, kicks off the new series by breaking down data center expansion, how Memphis Community Against Pollution is fighting the Colossus data center, and we convene organizers to intervene in their cities. nonprofitquarterly.org/how-mediajus...

While #BigTech corporations have hoped their NDAs and back door deals would protect their multi-billion $ investments, our people are showing that we will NOT accept their broken promises. We’ve already blocked $64B and helped swing elections. But our people are just getting started.

Such vital work. Nearly everyday a new data center proposal pops up across the US—using the same shady, secretive tactics & playbook of promises. We are at an urgent moment to build coalitions against the extractive fossil fuel surveillance factories being built in the name of economic development.

From Mississippi to Maryland, Black Communities Are Taking On Big Tech There are 1,200 data centers in the South, and $200 billion worth are on the horizon. Black community members are fighting a new wave of “extraction.” capitalbnews.org/data-centers...

Resistance to data centers is strong in the South- check out @mediajustice.bsky.social ‘s new report for a landscape review and key ways Black, brown and working class communities are taking action! bit.ly/nodatacenters

Media 2070's Black Future Newsstand exhibit in Houston reflects the hope of realizing a just world where Black people and Black communities are respected and protected. More here: https://www.freepress.net/blog/front-porches-trail-rides-and-stories-black-futures

#Memphis, not Musk! Let’s break down how #DataCenters are polluting communities in #Tennessee. Read our NEW report to learn how the state sold out its people to build 16 facilities and how organizations like Memphis Community Against Pollution are resisting. bit.ly/nodatacenters

Here’s your tech speed-run for this week ✨

As federal helicopters circled overhead, MediaJustice joined 100+ organizers to march through Memphis earlier this month. Organized by Tigers Against Pollution, we resisted the federal occupation of Memphis and Musk’s xAI data center. Actions like this prove that when we organize, we can win.

Corporations are ready to sacrifice our planet & people in the long term to make a quick buck. For @theenergymix.com, Jody MacPherson highlights our NEW report, which outlines how #DataCenters are accelerating the climate crisis and extracting from the South. www.theenergymix.com/big-techs-ai...

From the Wear Red Coalition in Alabama to a grassroots education effort in Georgia, we will NOT let #DataCenters into our cities without a fight. For @capitalb.bsky.social, @adamlmahoney.bsky.social breaks down how Black communities are resisting ✊🏾 capitalbnews.org/data-centers...

The media justice movement lost a true champion this year. Brandi Collins-Dexter made such an impact. We’re grateful to @stevenrenderos.bsky.socialis of @mediajustice.bsky.social who is here to help us honor her work through our 2025 Parker Award. www.youtube.com/live/zKqoWmR... #ParkerLecture2025

MediaJustice joined 100+ organizers to march and resist the federal occupation and Musk’s xAI data center in Memphis. Organized by Tigers Against Pollution, actions like this give power back to our people and build the power we’ll need to block billions of $ worth of data center projects.

Oakland PD wants to join Flock’s sprawling surveillance network, which means connecting public & private systems including Ring doorbells, businesses and drones that will fuel 🧊dirty work. Go to bit.ly/noflock-oakland to support the fight ✊🏽

Our friends at @athenaforall.bsky.social @mediajustice.bsky.social and @kairosfellows.bsky.social have been putting together valuable research and resources for organizers and everyday people to fight back. Like this organizer guide 👉 👉 👉 www.kairosfellows.org/fightdatacen...
