Data centers are products of war, and products for war that are killing the people and planet.
They demand immense resources like “critical” minerals and fossil fuels, driving U.S. warfare on resource-rich regions like Iran and Venezuela, as well as U.S.-backed warfare in the Congo going back decades. In our communities, they devastate local ecosystems, drive up utility costs, consume massive amounts of water, and create deadly long-term health risks. All of this enables the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) for military operations and surveillance. In defense of the planet, our communities, and communities around the world, data center projects must be halted wherever they are.
