Residents of Newport Township,  We all want our community to grow, but we also have a right to protect the place we call home. Data centers can bring major demands on our power, water, roads, and infrastructure.  Let’s stay informed, attend township meetings, ask questions, and make our voices heard. We may not get another chance. Newport Township deserves a say in its future  

Pennsylvanians were blindsided by the data center boom that came out of nowhere in early 2025. We were unaware of the negotiations with billionaires and data center developers going on behind closed doors. Apparently, elected officials and cabinet members involved in the negotiations figured that the Pennsylvanians they are in government to represent would just deal with whatever they were handed. They were wrong. On Tuesday, October 6th, people from across Pennsylvania will rally in the Capitol Rotunda at 12:30 to say NO to data center development in Pennsylvania. We will launch our Fall campaign that day. Over the course of the weeks that follow the rally, we will deliver letters from different constituencies expressing their opposition to data centers and generative AI. The reasons for their opposition are many - environmental and climate impacts, health impacts, rising energy prices, job losses, adverse impacts on our children, decreased property value, lost quality of life, increased surveillance of the public, and many more - but when we come together, we speak with one powerful voice that is saying NO! This petition will be delivered to reflect our collective opposition! Our first constituency letters are from health professionals, faith leaders, artists, and parents & guardians. We invite all Pennsylvanians to visit our rally webpage to read and sign the letters. We're also offering lots of transportation options to get to the PA Capitol on October 6! Check them out while you're on our webpage and be sure to reserve your seats now, as space is limited!

Be the change you want to see! For our kids, grandkids, and a better future!

Removing the lynching tree is important because we should remember Brooksville’s history without continuing to display a symbol connected to racial violence in the center of our community. We can honor the victims and educate future generations through a meaningful memorial or historical marker instead.

Data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities can affect electricity and water infrastructure, noise, emergency response, air quality, wastewater, surrounding properties, and other local resources. The proposed Special Use Permit would give Gwinnett County a process to review those impacts before approving a facility and to set conditions for an individual site. The proposal would require applicants to provide information on utility needs, noise, water and wastewater, energy use and infrastructure, air emissions, emergency response, hazardous materials, waste heat, and cumulative impacts. It also includes proposed standards for setbacks and buffers, generators, cooling systems, lighting and decommissioning, along with annual reporting after a facility begins operating.

We care about this because we believe our votes should matter—and that the rules governing our government should be clear before anyone knows who will benefit from them. Imagine voting for your Representative, watching your state certify the result, and then learning that a procedural decision could prevent that Representative from participating when the new Congress organizes. Whether that happened to a Democrat or a Republican, we would want the same safeguard in place. This isn't about predicting the election or choosing sides. It's about making sure the rules are established before the outcome is known. We don't wait for a fire to decide where the exits should be. We establish the safety procedures beforehand. The House Rules Committee is already considering the rules for the 120th Congress. This is the moment to ask for clear, nonpartisan safeguards—while there is still time to put them in place. We’re signing because we want the next Congress to begin with clear rules, respect for the voters, and constitutional process—not uncertainty or last-minute decisions.

Hi!  I'm sure that if you're reading this petition, you are also offended and put off by the constant use of AI by the admin and teachers of our school. By signing this petition, you could help stop this constant usage of AI within our supposedly anti-AI school. Its extremely hypocritical of our teachers and admin to constantly discourage us students from using AI (for good reason) and then go ahead and us it themselves to advertise our class houses, our school events, and our school in general rather than support the student body and get students to volunteer to make the advertisements themselves. Its also extremely strange that a lot of our teachers have anti-AI posters in their classrooms directly next to a very obviously AI generated "art-piece". All of these examples show the hypocrisy of their statements and show us that they don't actually care about us nor the AI issue that is plaguing schools across the world right now. Thank you, and please sign this petition to help stop the AI usage within our school -Concerned ERA student 

This isn't about one person. This is about We the People of the United States — and we don't want it. We didn't vote for a camera on every corner. We didn't agree to have our movements logged, stored, and sold. We didn't sign off on a private company profiting off tracking where our families drive, every single day, with no oversight and no accountability to the people paying for it. And the numbers back up what we already feel in our gut: LAPD's own internal audit found their camera system was wrong nearly 1 in 3 times. That's not a fluke — that's a system operating on our streets, making mistakes about real people, with almost nobody watching to make sure it's used the way it was promised. We are not anti-safety. We are not anti-technology. We are Americans who believe that any system with this much power over our privacy needs real transparency, real oversight, and real accountability — not a rubber stamp and a subscription fee. This is already working. Nearly 100 cities and counties across 28 states have already canceled or rejected these contracts since 2021 — because residents like us stood up and said something. That number grows every time one more person adds their name. If you've ever driven past one of these cameras and felt that same uneasy feeling — you're not alone, and you're not overreacting. Join us. We the People built this country on the idea that power answers to us, not the other way around. It's time these cameras did too. Stop the Flock. Add your name.

As one person making change is hard. That’s why I need you, your voice, your action, your compassion to fight for what’s right. When we get this Data center taken down it will help influence the masses, show them that they too have the ability to scream NO! So please, help make a change. With peaceful protests and a lot of phone calls we can make the world a better place for all of us. Take back from the greedy.

Destructive data centers could soon pop up near you if folks like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have their way. AI data centers bring noise, light, air, and water pollution, and create astronomical energy costs. It’s no surprise 63% of Americans oppose them being built in their communities. But tech billionaires and warhawks like Hegseth aren’t worried about all that. They see an opportunity to supercharge AI-powered warfare, and they’re demanding billions of dollars and hundreds of acres to build data centers across the country. Public lands should not be turned into sacrifice zones for an AI arms race — and we need to act now. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act would BAN data centers and associated infrastructure on land owned or managed by the U.S. government, including on military bases. It’s a necessary safeguard, and we need to push every lawmaker to go on the record: Will you protect communities from bearing the energy, water, pollution, and infrastructure costs that data centers bring? Or will you join with Hegseth and Big Tech to accelerate AI-powered warfare?

The federal Environmental Protection Agency is trying, once again, to silence the public. Did you know that you are "unnecessary and burdensome red tape" in the eyes of the EPA? The agency is accepting comments until August 21st on its proposal to make a change to the way permit applications for air quality permits are reviewed. At present, the review includes an opportunity for the public to comment. The change would eliminate that process for facilities considered to be "minor sources" of pollution and leave it to the states to decide if the public should have an opportunity to comment. "Minor sources" include diesel backup generators and natural gas turbines, like those used at data centers. For example, this Spring, the PA DEP received a plan approval application from Amazon Data Services for its Falls Township data center for 280 natural gas generators and 3 diesel tanks. DEP says the facility will remain a "synthetic minor," a facility that would exceed maximum "minor source" levels without the operator taking steps to keep the facility in compliance. A "minor source" is by no means a trifling matter. Please add your name to this petition we will submit to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. Thank you! And please consider taking an extra minute or two to submit a comment. The EPA Is accepting comments on its proposed rule change until August 21st. We've created this EZ form you can use to submit a comment. We'll format your comment as a PDF and submit it to the docket on Regulations.gov. We do this because agencies count petitions as one comment, even if a million people sign it. The number of signers will not go unnoticed, but will not "count." Even the letters some organizations ask you to sign and send are treated the same way. Our form ensures that each submission will be unique and, therefore, counted. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5VrVoZh8yQz9JyZHCsg2S6UPNRW8_1lnzaSy6iD8Z4rPOTQ/viewform If you prefer to submit your own comment, you can go directly to Regulations.gov at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/07/2026-13667/minor-new-source-review-program-air-permitting-public-participation-requirements-for-state#open-comment EPA's press release - https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-proposes-streamline-state-and-local-permitting-process-minor-sources

Permanent corrective action to armor the cliff with a rip-rap system has been in place since April 5, 2013 – Project # GXUN 13-0016 – and even has been funded several times, with that money then put to other uses. Local, state, and federal agencies are all aware of the problem and detailed studies have been completed with multiple state and local agencies participating. But year after year this project, important to thousands of military and federal personnel, drops out of the funding formula despite this long-standing plan and remedy.  Meanwhile prices rise and the damage continues, making the immediate cliff a danger, though not one person has been injured in all this time. The site is currently under the ownership of Hanscom Air Force Base’s 66th Air Base Group, with many of its neighbors to the south on Humarock Beach having adequately armored their properties on their own dollar. The people who have signed this petition (with family and friends who know of and have enjoyed Fourth Cliff) urge these lawmakers to take action and see that Project GXUN 13-0016 gets funded this year, saving Fourth Cliff for posterity as an R&R gem. It is also sanctuary to three endangered species of birds.  As a 100% disabled veteran with a Purple Heart and two Bronze Star metals from combat in Vietnam, Fourth Cliff has been a great blessing to my wife and I for 45 years, from tenting to renting guest houses, to holding our daughter’s wedding in the Pavilion, to beachcombing, swimming, and fishing. My three grown children and grandchildren enjoy and love Fourth Cliff. This is our favorite location in all of New England, no, in the United States, a real gem. Contemplating a future without it is almost too hard to imagine.  The announcement of its closure late this year for safety reasons (though no one has been injured there in its history), drove me to post this petition and urge our lawmakers to “Save Fourth Cliff!” It is not too late. Find a way to fund this 2013 project now, and provide the resources needed to upgrade an important historical site and campground for thousands of military members and residents who are an important boon to the local economy. Take another look at my pictures here: If your front yard looked like this, what do you think the town you lived in would do? You know the answer to this question. So what about the US Air Force leaving its front yard like this? Who will hold it accountable? It must be our lawmakers, local, state, and federal! Do your job as leaders to make 4th Cliff safe for the thousands of military and government people who seek R&R there!
