CALL FOR SKILL SHARE SUBMISSIONS The Data Center weekend of action (10/9-10/13) is coming up and we plan to kick it off on Friday and Saturday with skill shares, workshops, and art builds! The plan is to host these in North Hydro Park weather permitting. We have alternate locations available in downtown Ypsi if outdoors isn’t feasible due to weather. We’d love for folks in our community and beyond to bring their skills and experiences to share! We will have multiple skills shares happening concurrently so participants can pick between them from 10am-6pm (w/ lunch break 1-2). What we need from you: Please pitch your skill share ideas to stopthedatacenter@proton.me BY OCTOBER 1st. Also share any material requests you have (we’ll do our best but no promises), any specific access needs you have, and timing preferences. YOU DON’T NEED TO BE AN EXPERT TO HAVE THINGS TO SHARE!

Slide 6: References for these slides are listed. There are three websites referenced. The first link listed goes to the University of Michigan FAQ page about the data center project with Los Alamos Laboratory. The second link listed goes to a Planet Detroit article about community concerns over the data center being built. The third link is directed to PDF from the University of Michigan’s facilities and operations code regarding architecture, construction, and engineering.

Slide 2: The same photo from slide one is still in the background. In the foreground is the following text: U of M states in their own FAQs that, “U-M has met with township officials and is planning further community engagement opportunities.” (1) Slide 3: In a continuation of the previous slide, a white block with black text reading, ‘However, residents and community members have attended multiple Township Trustee meetings where Trustees themselves (underlined in red) describe confusion about the project as well as stonewalling from U of M. (2)’ A picture serves of signs from an Ypsilanti Township Board of Trustees meeting depicts concerned community members holding up signs that say ‘Oppose the Data Center in Ypsi’ and U of M out of Ypsi’ serves as the backdrop for the text block. Slide 4: Another picture from a potluck of community members gathering at the Board of Trustees meeting to provide public comment serves as the background for the following paragraphs of text: ‘Based on comments from the trustees as well as a quick peek into Michigan state law we know: *U of M has not shared any plans with the township and has instead stated they are operating under an NDA concerning the specifications of the facility *Universities in Michigan are exempt from local building and zoning ordinances (3), so the degree to which the township board—and by extension the residents of Ypsilanti Township—have any democratic say, oversight, or avenue for halting the project remain legally unclear.’ Slide 5: The list from the previous slide continues atop a picture of yard signs painted by community members who oppose the data center. The text reads: ‘*The legal advisor of the board of Trustees notes that in the limited negotiations that have taken place, U of M is refusing to pay into township emergency services. *University of Michigan is additionally tax exempt, and therefore not providing any contribution of funds for community use. *The university says the project will create “at least 200 direct, high-paying, research-based jobs in Washtenaw County.” Notably not necessarily offering these jobs, which are often remote/hybrid positions, to directly impacted community members.’

We are tired of U of M's secrets and lies!
Slide 1: A photograph of a high profile University of Michigan meetings serves as the backdrop for the text, ‘How is U of M involving the Impacted Community? Spoiler: THEY’RE NOT.’ In the corner, additional text appears reading, ‘#thepeople’sfaq and @stopthedata.’

References are listed in black text on white backgrounds. There is another black and white image of a bombed out city behind the text. The first reference is a link to Charlie Nakhleh’s bio on the Los Alamos National Laboratory site, and the second goes to LinkedIn to a Los Alamos National Laboratory job posting for an Artificial Intelligence Researcher. In the bottom corner there are two small lines of text reading, ‘thepeople’sFAQs’ and ‘@stopthedata.’

Submission from the People's FAQ, debunking the university of Michigan's lies!
A black and white photograph of a mushroom cloud serves as a backdrop for the following text, ‘Will this Facility Develop Nuclear Weapons?’ In the bottom corner there are two small lines of text reading, ‘thepeople’sFAQs’ and ‘@stopthedata.’ White text over black backing appears on a black and white photo. The text reads, ‘UM says they will not be *manufacturing* nuclear weapons at this facility, however the university’s own initial press release about he project quotes Charlie Nakhleh (name underlined in red), a nuclear weapons physicist from LANL(1)’ Two text boxes appear in black and white. The first reads, ‘ADDITIONALLY, a job posting from Los Alamos National Labs for a research position in Ann Arbor describes the following work(2)’. The second paragraph cites the job posting, stating, ‘Specifically, the group builds AI tools for weapons physics to support the laboratory’s mission of maintaining and modernizing the U.S. nuclear stockpile while exploring future deterrent options. These tools accelerate weapons design, engineering, and production and enhance the assessment and mitigation of global security threats.’ Black text on a white background appears on a black and white image. The text reads: For these reasons, it feels safe to surmise that while UM and LANL will not be *actively building* nuclear weapons at this computing site, it almost CERTAINLY will be used for research that increases the United State’s capacity for to exact nuclear terror (underlined in red).’
