US #taxpayers just bought 10% of #Intel, the largest US #semiconductor manufacturer.
What did we get in return?

The #CHIPSAct led to a boom in new #semiconductor factories, but it didn’t provide the protection neighbors and workers were hoping for. Fortunately, local #CHIPScommunities are taking action to protect their families and neighborhoods. Check them out!

Image of components of chips and the USA flag folded on the right side. Text says: The CHIPS Act promised to boost domestic research and development (R&D). Last we heard, there was no movement at the PRISM project, which was supposed to research ways to keep the public safe from toxic forever chemicals.

Image of components of chips and the USA flag folded on the right side. Text says: The CHIPS Act granted companies $52.7 billion in federal funding to revitalize the domestic semiconductor industry. Yet, there’s no formal opportunity for neighbors and community members to have a say in the massive new developments in their backyards.

Image of components of chips and the USA flag folded on the right side. Text says: The CHIPS Act was meant to reshore the semiconductor industry and create robust local economies. But the CHIPS Act’s poster child, Intel, isn’t doing too hot. Intel has laid off more than 7000 US workers in the last year. Now, the company warns it may stop its $28B Ohio project before it even begins.

Image of components of chips and the USA flag folded on the right side. Text says: The CHIPS Act promised to create over 125,000 jobs across 20 states. Jobs? What jobs? The CHIPS Act was supposed to create semiconductor manufacturing jobs. But at a cost of more than $150 billion, each new job will cost taxpayers $1.2 million.

Image of components of chips and the USA flag folded on the right side. Text says: Full of promise, the once-in-a-generation opportunity of the CHIPS Act lacks environmental protections. 1. Semiconductor factories are chemical factories, and many of the chemicals are poisonous. Now the president has directed the government to weaken the environmental laws that protect us from these hazardous compounds.

The advancement of American AI must deliver first and foremost for the American people; we can't afford to let Big Tech and Big Oil lobbyists write the rules. That's why we need a People’s AI Action Plan that puts the needs of everyday Americans over corporate profits. peoplesaiaction.com

Our Coalition Director, Judith Barish, was recently interviewed about our state-level work and whether the #WestLafayette City Council should support community members in opposing the rezoning of 121 acres of residential land for a #SKHynix #semiconductor factory (1/4) 🧵
