ADVOCACY

We were born out of the need to engage with voters, legislators and government entities alike in tangible, non-performative ways. We collect data, present concepts and write bills that put marginalized communities at the forefront of environmental policy.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

In order to build consensus, environmental issues affecting New Jersey must be shown in a straightforward and digestible manner. We make it a point of unpack big concepts that are holding our communities back, making the climate revolution accessible to anyone and everyone.

DRIVE THE NARRATIVE

There’s no better way to prepare the leaders of tomorrow than by empowering them today. Our youth-based leadership actively engages with folks on campuses and communities across New Jersey and plugs them into their fields of interest, regardless of level of experience.

Bill S680:

Makes data centers build their own clean energy

We’re paying higher power bills to subsidize data centers owned by billionaires. Meanwhile, data centers are damaging our communities and our health. This is unacceptable.

Under this bill, AI data centers would be required to create their own energy supply from clean sources like solar, wind, and nuclear. This would lower power bills and limit pollution.

Bill S3379

Requires data centers to submit water and energy usage reports

Data centers shouldn’t be able to hide their energy and water use. This bill would require data centers to be transparent about their resource consumption, which will allow lawmakers to create fair and effective regulations.

Bill S3611

Requires data centers to obtain approval from the State Planning Commission; Excludes data centers from economic development subsidies

This bill will allow the State Planning Commission to review each proposed data center and approve or reject it based on how it will affect the state. The bill also prevents data centers from receiving state subsidies, which is appropriate considering how little data centers do for New Jersey’s economy.

IN THE PRESS

The tech billionaires behind AI do not care about us. Their words and actions make that clear:

Peter Thiel, chairman of Palantir, openly believes that democracy and freedom are incompatible. In his own words, AI is a way to circumvent democracy:

“We could never win an election on getting certain things because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.”

Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, openly rambles about using violence to protect “western superiority.” He sees AI as a way to threaten or kill his perceived enemies because, in his own view, “safe means that the other person is scared.”

Elon Musk’s Twitter AI is widely used to create sexual deepfakes of real people, including children. Elon found this funny, and posted an AI image of himself in a bikini as a response.

Mark Zuckerberg prevented parental control options on his AI, against the recommendations of his staff. Zuckerberg’s AI quickly began having sexual conversations with children, and parents had no way to prevent it.

Larry Ellison, CTO of Oracle, is excited at the possibility of an AI police state.

“Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on”

Arkady Volozh, CEO of Nebius, was on the board of face.com, an AI face tagging company bought by Facebook in 2012. Nebius is currently building a 300 megawatt AI data center in Vineland NJ, the largest in the state.

Lets Be Clear:

These billionaires are not interested in using AI to help us. To them, AI is just another tool to accumulate money and power. These same companies are now driving unprecedented demand for energy, water, and land in communities across New Jersey.
