But I'm here to demand that city council pass a data center moratorium.
All across the country, we're seeing the devastating impacts that data centers are having.
They're driving up our energy bills at a time when many of us are struggling to make ends meet.
They're using millions of gallons of water during a drought.
And they're polluting the environment with toxic chemicals and never-ending noise.
They voted for, I think, every single zoning request for a data center so far.
Last year, many of the counselors in this room today voted to approve a massive data center right by the Catawba River in West Charlotte.
This will be the largest data center in all of North Carolina, and it threatens a vital river that supplies water to 2.5 million people.
This is a shame.
And in all of these cases, there's been almost no community input.
It's time for the city to finally act.
It's time for our elected officials to grow a backbone.
It's time for the city to finally listen to the voice of the people.
We need to ban data centers in Charlotte.
But most importantly, we need to have power over how these decisions are actually made, not corporations like American Tower or Duke Energy.
We should be able to decide what is built in our neighborhood and use our resources to fund people's needs, like schools, libraries, and community centers, not more data centers.
We're both.
Hi.
I'm here to show support for the Momatorium, and also I wanted to speak on my experience as an Eastside native.
Yesterday, I had $25 to my name.
