Calling for Climate Justice

Calling for Climate Justice is a monthly education and advocacy event hosted by Hope for Creation, Michigan Interfaith Power and Light, and the Lansing Chapter. Our three organizations come together on Zoom on the first Tuesday of each month to highlight an important legislative issue that our state or country is facing. We learn about the issue and make calls to our elected officials. All of this happens in a compact 30 minute Zoom event! See below for the issue this month. 

October issue: Data Centers
Tuesday, Oct. 6 | 8–8:30 p.m.

Calls to REPRESENTATIVES

Hi, I’m a constituent calling to ask Representative [Name] to support legislation that addresses the growing energy, water, and environmental impacts of data centers. In particular, I’m asking the Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 6983, the PRICE Act, and H.R. 6984, the Data Center Transparency Act, which would require data centers to generate their own electricity and provide greater transparency about their impacts on energy, water, air quality, and household utility costs. Thank you for passing along my request. 

​

Calls to SENATORS

Hi, I’m a constituent calling to ask Senator [Name] to support the Data Center Tax Accountability and Disclosure Act, S. 5054. The rapid growth of large data centers can affect electricity demand, water use, emissions, and utility costs, and this legislation would require greater transparency about those impacts. I’m asking the Senator to support and co-sponsor S. 5054. Thank you for passing along my request.
