Governor Shapiro, Hear the Voices of Your Constituents on Data Centers
The undersigned are calling on you to attend a statewide virtual town hall from 7 - 9 p.m. on May 13 to hear your constituents' concerns about the data center proposals being proposed across Pennsylvania.
Why is this important?
In the past year, Pennsylvanians have experienced a tsunami of data center proposals. The known impacts of the data centers themselves, as well as those of the fossil fuel and nuclear infrastructure necessary to power them, are profound. Additional impacts are being identified as research struggles to catch up with the data center development.
Governor Josh Shapiro boasts that he "Gets Stuff Done." To date, GSD has involved brokering deals, promoting industry-friendly policies and subsidies, pressing to add more power generation to the grid, and smoothing the way for data center developers with fast-tracked permitting and other assists.
The one thing he has not gotten done is hearing from his constituents. Our Better Path and No False Climate Solutions PA Coalitions have attempted to work with his office to schedule a statewide virtual town hall. He has not made himself available for two hours to hear from the people.
Since he refused to work with us, we are now scheduling the town hall for 7 - 9 p.m. on May 13 and are inviting him, federal and state legislators, regulators, local officials, and press to attend. We will deliver a 4' engraved invitation to his office on May 5th. Your signatures on this petition will be added to the invitation.
If your organization would like to sign the invitation, please use this form.
Pennsylvania residents, if you would like to sign up for a speaking slot at the town hall, please sign up here.
