As the rapid expansion of data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure reshapes communities across Michigan and the Great Lakes, important questions are emerging about who benefits, who pays, who decides, and who is protected. We would value your voice and expertise as part of this timely conversation.

The Equity First Podcast centers the voices, experiences, and solutions of frontline communities, advocates, organizers, policymakers, and movement leaders working toward environmental, climate, economic, and racial justice.

Our discussion will explore data center development, energy demand and utility rates, air and water quality, public health, environmental justice, community decision-making, and accountability across Michigan and the Great Lakes.
