Banner image for No AI Data Centers in Michigan Rally in Detroit, happening on Saturday, April 11, from 5 – 7pm EDT at Roosevelt Park. "Why: We’re rallying to call out the corrupt reasons our SOLUTIONS to data centers won’t move, including the corrupting money in Michigan politics. Come out and get loud! This is our opportunity to say NO to Big Tech, corporate overreach, government surveillance, and politicians that aren’t listening to their constituents. Let’s come together to say YES to community voices, solutions to the data center infiltration, and the MMOP initiative to get corporate money out of our politics! #NoDataCenters #NoCorporateHandouts #NoSecretDeals For questions, comments, media inquiries, or those who want to get involved, please contact us at publicresearchinit@proton.me or message our Facebook page! We can’t wait to see you there! ✊"
