​RURAL OHIO BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROW

🚫 No Data Centers

We, Adams County and all of Ohio do NOT want any data center builds and we’re not going to let it happen. 50 of us showed up at the courthouse on February 28th to stand in opposition of the proposals that will damage the rest of what we have here.

I’m gonna use this time to share some facts and information.

SOUTHERN OHIO DATA CENTER PROPOSAL

LOCATIONS

•Manchester: North of the Former Stuart Power Plant, will consume more than 20 times as much electricity as Adams Co. itself.​

•Franklin Furnace, Haverhill: 500,000 sq. Ft. Campus affiliated with Tilted Gate LLC

•Mt Orab: 1,000 acre data center, southeast corner of Mt. Orab south of Tri-County highway

•Ashville: 600+ acres north of St. Rt. 752 EdgeConneX Data center and 234 acres on St. Rt. 104 AWS expansion

•Wilmington: 471 acre campus, Linked to Amazon Near U.S. 68 and another 500 acre of land being zoned

​

More proposals coming in and ground breaking has begun in some areas. Further action can be organized if folks in the area want to learn how to do more. They're coming and we must be the ones to stop them.

_________________________

The data center's environmental impact goes well beyond electricity. It takes enormous amounts of water to cool those servers. One facility alone consumes millions of liters in a day, particularly those that utilize evaporative cooling systems. In already water-stressed areas, this additional pressure can impact agriculture, ecosystems, and even domestic water supplies.

___________________________

• MASSIVE LAND USE, LITTLE BENEFIT

• STRAIN ON FRAGILE INFRASTRUCTURE

• HEAVY WATER AND POWER USE

• DAILY NOISE AND LIGHT POLLUTION

• EMISSIONS AND POOR AIR QUALITY

• LITTLE TO NO PERMANENT LOCAL JOBS

"Our environment is our lifeline. It provides us with the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the resources we use. Protecting it is not just a choice-it's a necessity."

We need help keeping up with town meetings about the data centers in every town or city in these counties. If you would like to help us with keeping up so we can add to our calendar and share please do. You can send the information to our email or directly to our signal (not the chat).

We have been accumulating a list of all small and local businesses in our district and surrounding that are on the right side of history and are like-minded. We should be focusing on where we spend our money.

If you know any that are not listed, reach out and let us know. We will make sure to do our research and add them to the list.

Even if you're an individual that has hobbies or talents but not actual jobs, you should be on this list with your expertise. We want to make sure we support everyone we possibly can.

New support group for survivors of sexual abuse and workshops to help educate the public in hopes to create real change.

Survivors deserve active, accessible and affordable advocacy, support and the right to heal on their own terms. This group and the workshops are designed to help you build resilience, develop skills to keep you and your loved ones safe, and create bonds with those who have been through the same experiences as well as educating and informing the public for prevention.

These groups will be for survivors as well as the general public, those who want to learn more to help with prevention and education around sxual violence and asault. I.e.: What is Sxual Vilence, What is and Can be Considered SVolence, Consent 101, What is Grooming, What are Warning Signs, Women’s Health and Anatomy, Self-Defense and more. In hopes we keep our children and community safe.

What to Expect: Bonding, Venting and Relating Mutual Support Trauma-Informing to Foster Healing Education on Women’s Health Sexual Violence Awareness + Education Workshops Skill Building Sharing Resources Safety and Confidentiality

The legal term “genocide” refers to certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. Genocide is an international crime, according to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948). The acts that constitute genocide fall into five categories:

• Killing members of the group

• Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group

• Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction, in whole or in part

• Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

• Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
