This is an in-person event happening as part of NYC Climate Week.
To hear many in the tech industry tell it, data centers will bring wealth & prosperity not only to those who build them, but to the communities that ultimately live with & around them. However, drawing a longer historical arc is essential: AI is proposed as a new industrial moonshot in communities that have already seen the rise & fall of steel factories, coal plants, fracking infrastructure, & more. Today's companies are trying to sell communities on yet another industrial vision.
On Sept. 22 at 5:30 p.m., join us in Midtown East, Manhattan, for a panel discussion featuring journalists, nonprofits, & community organizers who are uncovering the impact of data centers across the country & sharing that information with the public.
Our panel discussion will feature Maia Woluchem, program director of Data & Society's Trustworthy Infrastructures program; Alejandra Martinez, The Texas Tribune environmental reporter & Pulitzer Center grantee; Brian Crawford, Texas resident with the nonprofit Protect the Paluxy Valley; & Ginny Marcille-Kerslake, Pennsylvania resident & Senior Organizer at Food & Water Watch. Kit R. Roane, award-winning senior producer at Retro Report, will be the moderator.
This event is anchored by the launch of Data & Society's forthcoming report, The AI Factory: Data Centers, Power & Resistance in Late Industrial Pennsylvania, a landmark study emerging out of eighteen months of field research in the Keystone State, as well as Pulitzer Center-supported reporting on data center development by The Texas Tribune.
Light refreshments will be served. Seating is limited, & R.S.V.P. is required.
This panel discussion is co-organized by Data & Society, Retro Report, & The Pulitzer Center.
