👏 AUSTIN! THIS IS THE MOMENT TO DEMAND A BAN ON NEW DATA CENTERS. RESOLUTION LANGUAGE ON THE TABLE IS WEAK. WE NEED TO TAKE THE MATTER INTO OUR OWN HANDS. SHARE, SHOW UP AND WRITE CITY LEADERS ➡️ link in bio (sorry for yelling, but this is really important)
THURSDAY, AUGUST 27 • 9 AM
Austin City Council Meeting • Item 61
Austin City Hall, 301 W. 2nd St.
Want to speak? Register starting Monday, August 24. Council requires advance registration for agenda-item testimony; you can register to speak in person or remotely through the City’s Council meeting speaker sign-up. Online registration ends Wednesday 8/26 at noon.
FACTS// Texas is already facing a projected water shortage measured in trillions of gallons, while data centers are adding COLLOSSAL new demands for water, electricity, land and infrastructure. ERCOT’s queue contains more than 438,000 MW of proposed large-load demand, nearly 90% associated with data centers.
NOT TODAY, SERVERS// Austin does not need to become another data-center hub. Corporate interests will keep pushing until the public draws a line they cannot cross, moratorium and ban.
GOOD NEIGHBORS// San Marcos showed what this movement can look like. The Data Center Action Coalition, Save Our Springs and local residents turned the fight against the Mayberry data center into a broader campaign for local control. That work helped pave the way for San Marcos to become the first Texas city to prohibit data centers.
Austin has the same power. LETS USE IT.
Our Environmental Commission has already recommended a moratorium on new data centers in Austin and the ETJ. Now Council needs to hear from ALL OF US.
🚫 STOP THE DATA CENTER DRAIN.

Help stop data centers by signing this petition. It influences the government when they see their constituents push! https://c.org/vNFZDdB7bR

“The registration period for a given meeting begins at 9 a.m., 21 days prior to the meeting, and ends at 4:30 p.m., 14 days prior to the meeting.” It is now too late to register for the meeting this week, we can only register for the 9/10 meeting now to speak.
