Today’s Action · two minutes

Ask for the data center’s water numbers

Two minutes, one email. A data center’s water numbers should be public before the vote, not after.

Every story in The Daily Drip ends with something you can do: the exact words to send, the public tool to open, the meeting to show up to.

To: your county commission or city council
