Join us on a trip to Albany alongside Food & Water Watch to demand a statewide moratorium on datacenters. We demand that our electeds put our communities and livelihoods first, not AI shareholder profits! The bus to Albany leaves from 34th and Eighth in Manhattan at 7am and returns by 7pm.

NYC-DSA stands in solidarity with working-class New Yorkers in opposing the unregulated build-out of hyperscale AI data centers. Hyperscale data centers are straining the grid, destroying green spaces, causing air, water, and noise pollution in their host communities and inducing mass layoffs across the tech industry.
As of right now, the only legislation that gives us a fighting chance is the NYS Data Center Moratorium (S.9144): a 3 year pause on new data center development to develop comprehensive environmental and ratepayer impact reports.
We call on our electeds and legislators to stand with us as we fight for a liveable planet and for the needs of working class New Yorkers’ above tech billionaire profits.
