From Understanding to Action: Organizing in the Age of AI & Data Centers
In our first session, we explored how generative AI, data centers, extraction, energy systems, and impacts on land and communities are all deeply connected. If you missed it, you can catch up with the recording here, and join us whether or not you attended session 1.
Now, we’re turning toward action.
This second session builds on that foundation by asking: How can we incorporate these concepts into the work we are already doing?
Join Honor the Earth for a deeper, more grounded conversation focused on what it looks like to apply this understanding in real-world organizing. Together, we’ll explore how these interconnected systems show up locally and how communities can respond in ways that are rooted in sovereignty, relationship, and collective power.
NOTE: To create a space where people can speak openly, we ask that participants do not use AI notetakers and use recording bots during this webinar. Thanks for helping us keep this a more comfortable and respectful environment for everyone.
