Run for Working People (And Not For Data Centers)

Today, we're gonna talk about data centers. Now, I know these things are a hot topic amid everything else: the heat, water, prices, lack of homes, lack of childcare, you name it. But we do need to speak out about them. So, who is the most qualified here to speak about them, and when necessary, against these just enormous data centers that are affecting the heat, the water, the prices, the lack of homes, and more? In this second batch of conversations, in partnership with our best friends at Run For Something, we're gonna give you exactly what you asked for. Today, we're gonna talk to an awesome candidate who is running for their town council, who is hellbent on attacking and helping people understand a huge issue in their own hometown. You and I are gonna find out together what they're working on and where they've made progress, where they have struggled in their candidacy, and how their exact tactics and strategies might be transferable to other schools or towns or cities like yours around this fine country. ----------- Have feedback?
