Big Tech is taking over Michigan -- this is how we build power to fight back
Bring your friends together. Write postcards. Help protect Michigan!
Hyper-scale data center proposals are popping up fast across Michigan.
We need a moratorium now while we work on strong safeguards to protect our natural resources and residents from skyrocketing utility bills. But this won't happen until we start organizing more on statewide solutions now.
That's why we're launching a summer of action on data centers starting with post card parties. But we need your help to make this happen!
Why Host a Data Center Postcard Party?
- It's simple. No special skills or big budget needed.
- It's social. A postcard party is a fun, low-key way to spend time with people you like.
- It works. Handwritten postcards get noticed. A stack of them from Michigan voters is hard to ignore.
- You're not alone. We'll walk you through every step, from invites to delivering the postcards.
What We Provide
- A simple host guide with a step-by-step timeline
- Sample invite messages and reminder texts
- Postcard templates and data center info sheets you can print at home or at a local print shop
- Talking points, so you and your guests know what to say
- A friendly check-in before your party, if you want one
What You Provide
- A few hours of your time
- A guest list (even 5-6 friends is a great start)
- A space to gather, like your dining table or living room
- Refreshments (you can also ask invitees to help provide this!)
How It Works
