Oregon Data Center Moratorium Rally & Lobby Day in Salem!

Join with activists across the state on Tuesday, September 8th for a special day of protest, speeches and engagement with YOUR state representatives at our RALLY & LOBBY DAY at the capital in Salem. With one unified voice we will demand an OREGON DATA CENTER MORATORIUM NOW and then meet with and appeal to lawmakers that we need at least a 3-year pause on any new data center developments. OREGON COULD BE THE FIRST IN THE NATION TO IMPOSE A STATEWIDE MORATORIUM! Before any permitting resumes, lawmakers must enact wide-ranging responsible regulations, protections and tax assessments that will guarantee Oregon's precious water, power, land and air resources are prioritized for Oregonians and kept safe from the reckless growth of data centers in our state. This pause will cover two legislative sessions, allowing sufficient time to establish appropriate laws to safeguard our economy, environment and our public resources for all of us and for future Oregonians. We can then work toward broadening these new laws to help reign in and prevent further damage by existing data center operations. "Lobby Days" are opportunities for Oregonians to meet in person with their representatives in advance of the relatively short, alternate year lawmaking sessions. These are valuable but short windows of time to personally express our most pressing and urgent concerns to our representatives --- so don't miss out! It will be a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow activists, show our power in numbers, and even make history. If our statewide moratorium passes, it could be the first in the nation, adding once again to our pioneering legacy of environmental protection alongside progress.
