Environmental activist Erin Brokovich stated on live television that AI data centers are being “shoved down people’s throats in secrecy” and warns that the country is on a “very slippery slope” by repeating past environmental mistakes. She criticized tech companies for utilizing strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) at the proposal stage which forces backdoor deals, blocks community input, and leaves local leaders unable to inform residents. She stated that in some cases, developers deliberately mislabel the projects as standard “warehouses” to avoid public scrutiny.

She warned that these massive tech clusters jeopardize vital public resources, explicitly stating that “our water, our electricity, our land, our food…and our health” are all on the table. Large hubs can consume up to 5 million gallons of water daily just to cool servers, causing nearby domestic wells to dry up and water pressure to drop.

She shared that residents are suffering from skyrocketing utility bills, constant oppressive pollution from cooling fans, and unexplainable illnesses in local wildlife. She also expressed frustration that the government and tech sector rush infrastructure builds first and study the catastrophic environmental consequences a decade later.

To counter the lack of corporate transparency, Brockovich created a crowdsourced reporting database at: www.brockovichdatacenter.com. The platform hosts a national interactive map allowing citizens to self-report and track operational, under-construction, or proposed AI projects. Within weeks of its launch, she received over 6,000 complaints spanning nearly every state, documenting a clear national pattern of communities feeling entirely silenced and ignored.

Erin asks, if a data center is in your area, please visit the website (www.brockovichdatacenter.com) to report the data center and also log issues like water depletion, skyrocketing utility bills and/or 24/7 noise pollution.

The 1955-1970 era proved less reporting hurts investors

“Mississippi families, if you have a student heading to college this fall (or a child who will be college-age in the next few years) you need to read this.

Nearly a year ago, the Republican-controlled Congress passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Trent Kelly, Michael Guest, Mike Ezell, Roger Wicker, and Cindy Hyde-Smith all voted yes. Only Congressman Bennie Thompson voted no and stood up for Mississippi students.

The implementation deadline hits July 1st. Three weeks from now, Mississippi families start feeling it.

Pell Grants are being cut. Pell Grants are the foundation of college aid for low- and moderate-income students. Tighter eligibility rules mean fewer students will qualify, and those who do may receive less. One House budget proposal dropped Pell funding by billions from prior years and eliminated other need-based programs entirely.

Parent PLUS Loans are being capped. Parents used to be able to borrow up to the full cost of attendance to help their kids. Not anymore. Starting July 1, new Parent PLUS Loans are capped at $20,000 per year and $65,000 lifetime. Here's the problem: the average cost of college in the United States already exceeds $38,000 a year. That gap has to come from somewhere... your savings, your student's debt, or nowhere.

Grad PLUS Loans are being eliminated entirely. If your student is pursuing a graduate degree in law, medicine, nursing, or engineering, the federal loan program that helped them cover costs beyond basic limits is gone as of July 1. Future graduate students will face hard caps with no flexibility for high-cost programs.

This is a triple hit to Mississippi families who already face some of the highest poverty rates and lowest household incomes in the nation. These aren't abstract policy changes. This is the difference between a Mississippi kid getting a college degree or not.

Here's what you can do right now:

Contact your school's financial aid office immediately and ask about emergency institutional aid, appeals, and any scholarships that still have openings.

Search UNCF.org for scholarships. Some have rolling deadlines and the money is real.

If your student is headed to graduate school, ask about assistantships and fellowships before signing any private loan paperwork. Read every term carefully.

If you have a younger student, start building a plan now. The new rules are not going away without a fight, and that fight is going to take time.

Call Kelly, Guest, Ezell, Wicker, and Hyde-Smith and tell them Mississippi families cannot absorb these cuts.

Mississippi Democrats believe that a college education is a pathway out of poverty, not a privilege for the wealthy. These cuts go in exactly the wrong direction, and we will keep fighting to reverse them.”
