Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (CCI) has issued an "Action Alert" for a statewide Data Center Organizing Call scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM via Zoom. The initiative aims to equip Iowans with the knowledge and tools to protect their communities from large-scale data center developments, which the organization characterizes as problematic.
The call will feature testimonies from Iowa residents who have actively worked to push back against data center projects. Participants will also hear from Adam Kruggel, a seasoned organizer with experience in assisting communities across the country in their efforts to resist what are described as "billion- and trillion-dollar corporations." The event encourages everyday people to unite and demand better for their communities and the state. The article also provides contact information for Governor Kim Reynolds and Iowa's U.S. congressional delegation, suggesting a broader political engagement strategy.
