A #Georgia family says they were forced to sell their home to make way for power infrastructure serving #DataCenters. Communities should not have to sacrifice their homes & land for unchecked tech expansion. buff.ly/gfQiVgj
Yesterday, we celebrated the story of 6 citizens who stood up to a powerful corporation & won. In this clip from the #EnvironmentalJustice & #ClimateProtection Conference, Telfair County Commissioner Dakkia Bradshaw reminds us why we must speak up & show up. Our voices matter!
Power to the people! 🎉 Community action works. After 6 residents spoke out against the proposed $19.2 billion Kingsboro NC #DataCenter, the developer withdrew its land purchase offer. No application was ever filed. This is what people power looks like! buff.ly/PSFi6zX

#Biomass isn't a climate solution. #NorthCarolina communities are paying the price with polluted air, lost forests, & economic harm while the wood pellet industry profits. It's time to protect people, #forests, and our future. Read the facts & share: buff.ly/KR8WbTg
Join us in urging #NorthCarolina lawmakers to reject #biomass expansion. Wood pellet production harms forests, worsens air pollution, & threatens community health. Help protect #forests, climate, & communities by taking action today. buff.ly/aRJihfq
At Dogwood Alliance, we know that lasting change comes from people standing together, speaking the truth, and holding those in power accountable. As attacks on #democracy & environmental protections continue, we remain committed to this work. buff.ly/O10h3vO

#Louisiana lawmakers passed HB670, opening the door for more wood pellet biomass facilities & more pollution risks for communities. #Biomass has a record of violations, fines, & instability. Families should not pay the price for corporate greed. buff.ly/LmzBHSU

#Legislative Day may be over, but the fight for #healthy communities continues. Tell your lawmakers to stop the expansion of industrial biomass in #NorthCarolina and protect our forests, air, water, & communities. Take action through this link: buff.ly/R4AhJXw
Another highlight from #Legislative Day: meeting with Rep. Allison Dahle. We appreciated the opportunity to discuss healthy communities, environmental justice, & the importance of protecting #NorthCarolina's natural resources. Thank you for your time and thoughtful conversation.
We appreciated meeting with Representative Kanika Brown during Legislative Day. We discussed the connection between community health, environmental justice, & protecting #NorthCarolina’s #forests. Thank you for your time & commitment to serving communities across our state.
What is #biomass, & how can communities stop harmful projects? At the NC Conservation Network Conference, Paige shared recent wins & lessons from the field. “Build a future that you want. Not just the one that you think you can get. That is how our movement stays inspired.”
Today’s meetings with North Carolina legislators led by ICAWP and the legislative fellows are still going! See these great pics of everyone getting ready to advocate for environmental justice.
Today is legislative day in North Carolina and we’ve been preparing for it! Yesterday, we met with ICAWP and our North Carolina legislative fellows to prep for an impactful day of advocacy.
