AI DATA CENTERS ARE A FEMINIST ISSUE
The costs — water, electricity, safety, jobs — are being paid by women. The wealth flows to the same men funding the political war on us. We're showing up to fight it.
This is about who gets water, electricity, safety, and power in the next American economy. At every stage, women are paying the price — while the men building this infrastructure are the same men funding authoritarian and misogynistic movements.

A data center is going up in somebody's neighborhood right now. We will make sure that the women who live there get a vote in what happens next.
UTILITY COSTS
Residential bills rise by hundreds of dollars annually to subsidize the buildout. Energy poverty falls hardest on single mothers and women on fixed incomes.
Job displacement
Women hold 92% of admin assistant jobs and 70% of customer service roles — the most AI-exposed occupations. The replacement jobs don't go to them.
Trafficking
Massive construction sites in rural areas draw transient workforces — the same conditions driving trafficking surges in oil boomtowns. Local women and girls pay the price.
Hidden labor
AI models are trained by women in the Global South, paid $1–2/hour to review abusive content. The frictionless product is built on their psychological injury.
No one is coming to save us.
