There was so much joy in the room as @andreahunley_in started her run to be the next mayor of Indianapolis
She had to give 2 announcement speeches one for the upstairs room and one for the downstairs room

Black Communities and Data Centers: Are They Too Uppity to Appreciate Diesel Particulate Matter
I explore why 2027 Indianapolis Mayoral Candidate Vop Osili voted AGAINST a moratorium on data centers in January
He said he was introducing his own proposal to regulate data centers,
But that proposal never materialized...
His employer has designed over 95 million sq ft of data centers
Will we see it at this month's council meeting?
I wrote about some of the subtle and not so subtle tactics used to push harmful data centers on the community on my Substack

Martindale-Brightwood - DATA CENTER LIES
Last week Indy City Councilor Ron Gibson went on WTLC to spread misinformation and LIES about the 36 diesel generators needed for a proposed DATA CENTER
Watch to hear Ron lie about it and see video of ONE of those 2750 Kilowatt generators starting up!
In our role as Community Ambassadors, we value the power of neighborhood voices.
When you walk with someone who knows their neighbors and understands the institutions and leaders positioned to serve them, you experience community through a different lens.
Wildstyle is committed to identifying the gifts, leadership, and care that strengthen quality of life in his neighborhood, and to calling attention to the spaces and policies that put it at risk.
Today we celebrate Wildstyle’s birthday.
Thank you for your service on every front. 🫡
Martindale-Brightwood Data Center Hearing
The community spoke eloquently about the TECHNICAL reasons the data center would hurt their community
Councilor Jesse Brown spoke eloquently that the community is HIS boss and all of their bosses and they don't want the data center
The Hearing Examiner later correct Jesse and said she has no boss and doesn't ANSWER TO ANY OF US!!!
Indianapolis City Government at work #datacenter #metrobloks
Criminalization of homelessness just pushes vulnerable individuals struggling with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, and addiction to our criminal justice system.
Jail doesn’t make them “better”, it makes them more scarred, more likely to be homeless for longer and more desperate.

—> Will you make your voice heard, saying NO to data centers in Marion County?
Public Meeting TONIGHT @ 5:30
Downtown, Indianapolis @ the City county building, 2nd Floor
—> If you cannot make it in person, email your councilors
AND fill out the petition —> /forms/stop-data-centers - link in bio!
From the petition:
Data Centers consume massive amounts of electricity and offer few economic benefits to communities.
Tell the Indianapolis City County Council:
- We demand an immediate moratorium on any new data centers for the next six months.
- During those months, we need real community discussions about how to protect our communities from the negative consequences of data centers.
- IF we need data centers at all - they should benefit the community, not just wealthy developers.
Sign this petition and share this with your friends and neighbors.
Together, we can stop out-of-state developers from running roughshod over our neighborhoods.
