Data Center Moratorium Now!
We have a NARROW window to demand lawmakers take action on Hyperscale Data Centers before the end of session.
Remember last year, when nobody was talking about Data Centers and then it became a defining statewide issue in the one day special session?
It's time for Round 2.
With generous support from alliance partners, Rise & Repair is convening a "Community Hearing" in the Rotunda on Earth Dayto amplify the voices of impacted Minnesotans across the State.
On behalf of Mother Earth ~ Please join us!
