Ways to Help TODAY with Data Center Opposition

DATA CENTER TALKING POINTS

Write to or call your state representative and state senator to urge them to sponsor legislation regulating data center development in Indiana.  When communicating, always include your name and address and inform them that you are a constituent.  Data center development involves many issues and concerns.  You may choose to focus on one to two talking points, especially on phone calls.   Alternatively, it is acceptable to include all talking points in letters.  Impact is increased when writers augment talking points with their individual expertise and/or include their personal stories.

Write to Your Representatives

Send a letter to your state senator and representative. It requests that they author and sponsor legislation to regulate data center development in Indiana. You are encouraged to edit so it speaks to your individual expertise, priorities and/or personal story related to data centers.

Under the umbrella of VOICES FOR CHANGE, this subcommittee exists to ensure transparency, accountability, and community awareness around local government actions. Members bridge the gap between public meetings and public understanding —keeping our community informed, engaged, and empowered.

A Great option for those at home that have a good WIFI and a computer!

Because the Indiana State Legislature moves so quickly, updates and calls to action will be shared primarily through the SIGNAL app.

We empower community members to:

• Engage with local, county, and state government processes.

• Monitor & share what elected officials are doing in office.

•  Promote transparency and strengthen trust in public institutions.

• Amplify voices that demand accountability and progress.

 

By shining a light on the work that follows Election Day, VOICES FOR CHANGE helps citizens understand the process, stay informed, and take the next step in civic participation.

Keep in mind when using this platform:

1.      Keep to the topic and reason for the chat.

2. Maintain professionalism and respect for others.

3.      Try not to just share links – not everyone has the same access to other platforms.

4.      Try to keep to “polite” hours of 8am-9pm.

5.      Know that protest and other outside activism events may show up here. Please reference our county party policy regarding attendance and our stance on outside organizations’ activities. Do your research and make your own decisions as needed.
