🗣️BIG NEWS: Take Back Tech III is coming in April 2026! 👏🏾

With Big Tech companies pouring billions into data centers that destroy our communities + planet and making millions in government contracts to fuel mass deportations, we MUST fight back.

With a potential tenant pulling $150M, #ProjectMatador, a giant proposed #DataCenter in Amarillo, TX, now faces a major setback.

When we organize, we win! 👏🏾 It's crucial to have incredible organizers like Panhandle 1st Coalition defending our communities.
mediajustice.org/news/grassro...
A red hue overlays two organizers speaking to a group. In large text reads, "When We Organize, We Win." Below is a headline that reads, "Amarillo Grassroots Organizers Win Major Setback for Project Matador." A text box overlaying two organizers reads, "Project Matador, a proposed data center in West Texas, has lost a major potential tenant, who pulled $150M in funding. Though this company has not been confirmed, the developers had been in talks with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle, and Palantir." A quote box overlaying two organizers reads, "This news reinforces that community voices matter and when people come together, we can stop projects that don’t reflect our values or protect our resources." - Chase Brady, Panhandle 1st Coalition. A quote box overlaying two organizers reads, "Across the country, people are organizing against data centers that increase their utilities costs, siphon their water supply and take over their land. This moment shows that data centers are not inevitable." - Danny Cendejas, MediaJustice.

🙄 TIME’s Person of the Year shows the real danger that comes from tech media ownership: legacy media institutions and platforms now serve as propaganda microphones for tech billionaires — all while sidelining our communities.

This is why we need independent media owned by and for our communities!
Two covers for TIME's Person of the Year issue, which both highlight the "The Architects of AI." The left cover shows "AI" being physically built at a major multi-level construction site. On the right is a recreation of the "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" historic photo in NYC. But instead of construction workers, Big Tech AI executives sit atop the construction pillar, including Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta; Lisa Su, CEO of AMD; Elon Musk, xAI; Jensen Huang, President and CEO of Nvidia; Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI; Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind Technologies; Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic; Fei-Fei Li, Co-Director of Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute and CEO of World Labs.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Our Sr. Movement Building Director, @myaishahayes.bsky.social, kicks off the new series by breaking down data center expansion, how Memphis Community Against Pollution is fighting the Colossus data center, and we convene organizers to intervene in their cities.
nonprofitquarterly.org/how-mediajus...
Article 1 graphic that shows organizers at a march in Memphis with a large banner that reads "AI Kills 901." The article is called "How MediaJustice Is Leading Communities to Push Back Against AI Data Centers." Quote graphic: "MediaJustice traveled to Memphis, TN, in June... to strategize with organizers resisting the expansion of Colossus, the world's largest supercomupter built by xAI, a company owned by Elon Musk. Surrounding the facility is Boxtown, a historically Black community with some of the highest rates of cancer and toxic air concentrations in the nation, a direct result of decades of environmental racism." - Myaisha Hayes. Quote graphic: "MediaJustice returned to Memphis in October... joined by over 90 organizers from across the South, eager to learn from one another and bring those lessons back to local campaigns around the region. In partnership with MCAP, we hosted a regional training to deepen our collective knowledge about data center projects, develop our own messaging to combat Big Tech's propaganda, and study successful interventions against data centers." - Myaisha Hayes Quote graphic: "Local fights are forcing us to see the AI race for what it truly is — a deliberate political project rooted in theft, exploitation, colonialism, and the privatization of public resources." - Myaisha Hayes Another image is featured showing organizers rallying at the I AM A Man plaza in Memphis, TN.

This includes rocky formations, a city, a vast rural landscape, and a nightscape.

Really great coverage from @wired.com about our week of action against online ID verification and how these bills are setting a dangerous precedent by making the internet more exploitative rather than safer.

The Age-Gated Internet Is Sweeping the US. Activists Are Fighting Back
Half of the country now requires age verification to watch porn or access “harmful” content. Digital rights advocates are pushing back against legislation they say will make the internet less safe.
