IMPORTANT UPDATE: The second of the two forum dates has been moved from Oct 15 to Oct 23 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. The first forum on Oct 10 will go ahead as scheduled!
On Oct 15, we ask the people to attend the City's Planning and Zoning Committee meeting at 6:30 PM at the Temporary City Council Chambers (Police South District Station) at 2620 W Battlefield Road. The rezoning of 2900 S National Ave will be discussed. VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION!
Springfield City Council has not only failed you,
it was never built to serve you or your interests.
When asked by the people to even gather and reveal facts about Flock and the surveillance state in Springfield, they (led by Mayor Smug) tried to silence the people. Combine this with their continued efforts to try to market data centers to make them palatable when the people clearly don’t want them in our city or our neighborhoods, and you get well deserved outrage from the people!
However, we should not be surprised that any level of government in the U.S. serves the powerful monied interests rather than the right to the basic needs and dignity of working people. We cannot let the city council and their wealthy cronies wear us down. The deck is stacked against us. But no matter what setbacks we may face, we must continue to organize and fight.
The city government has held their marketing sessions to try to convince us that data centers are something we have to accept. How little do they understand our resolve!?
We have organized a People’s Forum in opposition to Data Centers. People from any or all political ideologies who want to fight against data centers are welcome to attend and work with us!
Join us for two dates at
📍Schweitzer Brentwood Library
📅 Saturday October 10, 3 PM to 6 PM
📅 Friday October 23, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
