Across Georgia, data centers are being built at a record pace. They’re reshaping our land, drawing on our water, straining our energy grid, and quietly shifting utility bill costs — all while decisions get made behind closed doors, long before most communities have a chance to weigh in.

You deserve to know what’s going on. And that’s exactly why we’re gathering.

Join the Georgia Conservation Voters Education Fund for a free, community education forum on data centers — what they are, where they’re being built, and what they mean for Georgia families.

This is a space for honest conversation, clear, trustworthy information from people who’ve done the homework — and a chance to ask the questions that matter to you.

Over the course of the morning, we’ll walk through:

✦ What data centers actually are and how they work
✦ Why Georgia is being targeted for data center development — and by whom
✦ The real environmental footprint: energy demand, water consumption, deforestation, and land use
✦ How construction costs and long-term infrastructure bills get split between corporations and the rest of us
✦ The political landscape — from federal AI narratives to state tax incentives and what happened in the most recent Georgia legislative session
✦ The role of the Georgia Public Service Commission in approving energy buildout — and why PSC races on this year’s ballot matter
✦ How communities are fighting back through local zoning, moratoria, and organizing — with real examples from around the state
✦ And how you can get involved, informed, and ready to act

We know you’re busy. We’ve got you covered:

🍽️ Free lunch will be served
🧒 Free childcare provided on-site (with RSVP)
🚗 Free parking at the venue, close to West End MARTA station

Please bring a neighbor, a friend from your faith community, a parent from your child’s school, or anyone who cares about what our communities will look like in 10 years. These decisions are being made right now, and informed neighbors are the most powerful force we have.
