Tell the Incoming Congress: Prioritize a Federal Moratorium on Data Centers
Big Tech companies are taking over neighborhoods, polluting local waterways and raising energy bills to construct massive data centers.
As corporations invest billions of dollars into these self-enriching projects, the economy is getting worse and worse for everyday people — and the 2026 midterm elections made it clear that voters are linking the affordability crisis to the poorly regulated AI industry.
We’re calling on the incoming Congress to listen to voters and pass a federal moratorium on data centers.
To the Incoming Congress:
In red states and blue states alike, voters in the 2026 midterm elections found common ground in their opposition to data centers. These massive facilities prey on local communities, particularly in underserved areas, by depleting and polluting natural resources.
The people have spoken. It’s time for you to listen: We need a federal moratorium on new data-center construction and real guardrails to protect communities.
