Protecting Local Communities from AI Data Center Impacts

March 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

March 11, 2026
12:00-1:15 PM Eastern Time
Zoom (Register: bit.ly/sflxwebinar1)

Across the country, local communities are organizing to protest plans for massive AI data centers in their neighborhoods that drive up electricity prices for everyone, while threatening water supplies and disrupting lives. New York needs to get ahead of the problem by imposing a temporary moratorium on data center development while we figure out how, and if, their negative impacts can be eliminated.

Join us on March 11 to hear from Eric Weltman, Senior Organizer for Food & Water Watch, who helped push for a moratorium in NYS, Assemblywoman Anna Kelles, sponsor of the moratorium bill in the Assembly, and Aimee Caffrey, member of the FLX Strong citizen group protesting the creation of a 400 MW hyperscale AI data center on the shores of Cayuga Lake.
