What can you do?
Contact your alderperson
Having a 1-year moratorium goes through them, as well as a vote to adopt the AI data center plans
Contact your state representatives
Encourage them to co-sign. Wisconsin LRB-6903/1 is a proposed bill in the Wisconsin State Legislature that aims to eliminate sales tax exemptions for data centers.
Help educate your family, friends, neighbors, and community
The Microsoft AI data center and the accompanying We Energy gas power plant will affect all the communities around it, Paris, Somers, and Kenosha
help keep awareness up
We have Yard signs available for free, and they have been a big hit, but they are just a start
We also have flyers targeting each district available
and would like to have a point person in each district
