Across the South, passing moratoriums has proven to be a winning organizing strategy.

Moratoriums are a pause or suspension in data center approvals and construction. Throughout the region, almost every Southern state has seen a successful moratorium fight from small rural communities in Edgecombe, NC, and in towns such as Jackson, MS, and Durham, NC. In the panhandle of FL and the Appalachian Mountains, southern communities are rising up. ⁠ ⁠ Joining us to give us more insight into what it takes to win these fights are panelists Charla Rios (Durham, NC), Kristy Rosen (Escambia County, FL), and Matéo Penado (Gainesville, GA). These panelists will bring the wisdom of their organizing experiences, hard learned lessons, and the creativity it takes to win and build for the next phase. ⁠ ⁠ The fight against data centers is a fight over who gets to shape the future of the South. Join us to learn how communities are fighting back, winning, and building power.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to register!
