In fact\, new research shows that at least 14 states and many localities aren’t even reporting these losses\, despite accounting rules requiring them to do so. \nIn this webinar\, Anthony Elmo will walk through findings from Good Jobs First’s latest report\, Data Center Tax Abatements: Why States and Localities Must Disclose These Soaring Revenue Losses. Together\, we’ll unpack how these tax abatements work\, why so many are kept out of public view\, and what it means for communities\, public budgets\, and essential services like schools and infrastructure. \nSpeaker Bio: \nAnthony Elmo joined Good Jobs First in 2025 with experience as a communications and political strategist who has spent his career helping working people and educators make their voices heard. As Communications and Political Director for UFCW Local 1000 and a lead strategist with Texas AFT\, Anthony has driven campaigns that bring together educators\, families\, and labor allies to fight for fair pay\, stronger public schools\, and accountable government. \nAt Texas AFT\, he shaped messaging\, digital outreach\, and legislative communications\, helping the union build power at the Capitol and in communities across Texas. His work has mobilized thousands of members\, expanded voter engagement\, and helped defeat anti-labor legislation. \nBefore his work in education and labor advocacy\, Anthony served as a field director for Obama for America\, leading voter registration and grassroots programs in several states. He holds both a Master’s and a Bachelor’s degree in International Politics and International Service from American University\, graduating summa cum laude.

This is when they deal with zoning\, buying land\, and getting the first permits. \n\n\n\n\nRead more about Site Selection\nBefore a data center is ever announced publicly\, developers are already quietly buying up land. They use anonymous LLCs and real estate brokers to approach landowners without revealing who’s really buying. Their goal is simple: lock up the land before anyone notices or objects. \nThis is the “quiet phase” is when communities have the most power but the least awareness. Without land\, no data center can be built. That’s why smart communities are watching public land records\, passing temporary moratoriums\, and updating zoning rules to require stricter standards for industrial projects. \nEarly opposition matters. Developers are betting millions on these projects\, and any sign of community resistance makes them nervous. \nThe earlier you organize\, the more leverage you have. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout these Working Sessions \nThese sessions are part of a network project addressing the harms of bad data centers.   \nThe format is a facilitated Zoom call to share on-the-ground experience\, tools\, resources\, and information. The outcome is a collection of refined tools and knowledge the whole network can use. As a participant you can access the shared document for notes and resources.

If you missed it\, you can catch up with the recording here: #Connecting the Dots: Data Centers\, Generative AI\, and the Tools to Fight Back presented by Honor the Earth \nNow\, we’re turning toward action. \nThis second session builds on that foundation by asking: How can we incorporate these concepts into the work we are already doing? \nJoin Honor the Earth for a deeper\, more grounded conversation focused on what it looks like to apply this understanding in real-world organizing. Together\, we’ll explore how these interconnected systems show up locally and how communities can respond in ways that are rooted in sovereignty\, relationship\, and collective power. \nNOTE: To create a space where people can speak openly\, we ask that participants do not use AI notetakers and use recording bots during this webinar. Thanks for helping us keep this a more comfortable and respectful environment for everyone. \nSpeaker Bio: \nKrystal Two Bulls  is an Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne grassroots organizer with experience on the frontlines doing campaign development and management around social\, racial and environmental justice.

Lopez (East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice)\, Tabitha Tripp (Public Rail Now)\, Ryan Calbreath (UE Green Locomotive program)\, and Jess Conard (Rail Watch)\, along with Solutionary Rail Director Bill Moyer. \nOver the last few years\, EJ and labor organizers have been deepening their bonds of solidarity and finding common cause in the fight to electrify our rail system. But electrification is not the only interest or benefit that a more accountable rail system would provide. Another goal is shifting our rail system toward delivering greater community safety and broader societal benefit by getting more trucks off the road\, reconnecting service to rural communities\, and hosting new transmission on rail corridors. \nWorking at the state and federal level\, these allies and organizers are shaping policies and shifting the political calculus to overcome the profound power of the biggest (“Class 1”) railroads (BNSF\, UP\, CSX\, NS\, CN\, and CPKC) whose management has been captured by extractive Wall Street forces. \nWe’ll start at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern on 4/22/26.

DESCRIPTION:Communities across the country are being asked to offer massive tax breaks and subsidies to attract data centers. But do these deals actually benefit local communities or are cities and states leaving money on the table? \n\n\nJoin us for a conversation with Nathan Jensen\, Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin\, whose research focuses on economic development policy\, tax incentives\, and business-government relations. Jensen is the co-author of the book Incentives to Pander\, which examines why governments often overuse subsidies and tax incentives when competing for corporate investment. \n\n\nIn this webinar\, Nathan will break down the economics and politics behind tax incentives\, explain why local governments frequently offer such large subsidies\, and explore whether communities actually see the promised economic benefits. Drawing on research and real-world examples\, including recent data center deals\, he will help participants understand how incentive packages work\, why transparency matters\, and what communities can do to demand accountability. \n\n\nNathan Jensen received his Ph.D. from Yale University and has previously held faculty positions at George Washington University and Washington University in St. Louis. His research examines government economic development strategies\, state and local incentives\, and the complex relationship between businesses and public policy. He is also\, by his own admission\, a proud owner of one share of the Green Bay Packers.

Before committing money\, these financial institutions assess project risks—including regulatory problems\, community opposition\, and what’s called “social license to operate.” Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) considerations have become part of many investment decisions\, creating new pressure points that didn’t exist a decade ago. \n\nRead More about Financial Structuring & Credit Approvals\nThis matters because documented community opposition directly affects investment risk. Credit rating agencies evaluate project risk; insurance companies assess liability; ESG-focused investors scrutinize environmental and social conflicts. When communities generate sustained opposition\, file permit challenges\, document environmental concerns\, and attract negative media coverage\, they’re creating quantifiable risk factors that affect financing costs. Projects have been delayed\, restructured\, or abandoned when financial partners became concerned about controversy. \nCommunities can identify and target lead financial partners\, file detailed investor engagement letters citing ESG conflicts\, present social license risk to credit rating agencies\, and generate financial media coverage of project controversies. Coordinating with shareholder activists who can raise concerns at investor annual meetings has also proven effective. Developers need to close financing before controversy escalates—which means early\, organized opposition can make their deals much harder to complete. \n \n\n\nAbout these Working Sessions \nThese sessions are part of a network project addressing the harms of bad data centers.   \nThe format is a facilitated Zoom call to share on-the-ground experience\, tools\, resources\, and information. The outcome is a collection of refined tools and knowledge the whole network can use.

The economic claims developers make are often vulnerable to scrutiny: independent fiscal analyses frequently reveal inflated job projections\, understated infrastructure costs\, and better alternative uses of public money. \nThis is where communities can reframe the debate from “jobs vs. no jobs” to “who really benefits from subsidizing this development?” Communities can mobilize turnout at public hearings\, commission independent fiscal impact studies\, expose the gap between promised and actual jobs\, and build coalitions between fiscal conservatives concerned about corporate welfare and progressives focused on community needs. Several tax packages have been reduced or denied when organized opposition effectively challenged developer claims. The key is demanding strong clawback provisions (recapturing incentives if promises aren’t kept) and enforceable community benefit agreements with binding terms. \nMore details\, stakeholders\, and community allies explored further in our working session.

Training AI models can consume hundreds of thousands of liters of water\, and even everyday AI queries add up. These facilities also need permits for air emissions (from backup diesel generators)\, stormwater management\, and impacts on wetlands. Some federal and state environmental laws require review processes that developers can’t skip. \n\nRead more about Water Rights & Environmental Permits\nThis gateway matters because developers want quick approvals with minimal conditions and limited public disclosure. Communities can file detailed scoping comments demanding thorough review\, present expert testimony from hydrologists and scientists\, challenge chemical risks from cooling systems\, and organize environmental justice coalitions to document cumulative impacts. When EPA regional offices\, state environmental agencies\, and water authorities see organized community opposition backed by scientific evidence\, they’re normally forced to take a harder look. \n\n\nAbout these Working Sessions \nThese sessions are part of a network project addressing the harms of bad data centers.   \nThe format is a facilitated Zoom call to share on-the-ground experience\, tools\, resources\, and information.
