This is amazing and we can ALL do this!!!

From “climaterevolutionnj” on IG:

“Hundreds showed up to New Brunswick City Council tonight to stop the 27,000 sq. ft. data center proposed under the Jersey-Sandford Redevelopment Plan.

This project was moving toward final approval. What was once pitched as mixed use residential and office space with a park quietly shifted toward a high-intensity Al data center.

The building was full 20 minutes before the council meeting even started. Residents packed the chambers to speak out against the energy demand, water usage, and land use impacts this would bring to a predominantly working class black and brown community.

Within an hour, it was pulled off the docket and the site was reverted back to park space.

This is what it looks like when communities fight back against big tech and their billionaire private equity backers.

New Brunswick we made it clear: the people united will never be defeated.

Launch of our statewide Al campaign in March.“
