SUMMARY:Imperialism\, Ecocide\, and Climate Justice: A Conversation with Dr. Rania Masri of NCEJN
DESCRIPTION:Join NC WARN and Dr. Rania Masri\, the Director of Organizing and Policy at the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network (NCEJN)\, for a critical discussion on how ecocide is used as a tool of oppression and imperialism. \nDrawing on real-world examples\, including the ongoing genocide in Palestine\, the webinar will explore the relationships between imperialism and ecocide\, and discuss how environmental destruction is strategically deployed to seize land\, control water and resources\, and perpetuate systems of oppression. \nSettler-colonial violence and genocide cannot be separated from environmental harm\, which is why climate justice movements must address both and build pathways forward grounded in solidarity\, accountability\, and systemic transformation. \nThis event is on Tuesday\, March 24 at 5:30 pm.

SUMMARY:"You Passed a Moratorium; Now What?!" Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of communities across the US have passed or are considering data center moratoriums—temporary pauses on facility construction\, approvals\, or operation—but once that pause is in place\, what happens next? \nThis 90-minute workshop explores the policy tools and organizing strategies to build lasting protections against the data center buildout\, so moratoriums build momentum rather than cementing the status quo. We will feature case studies from local organizers from different moratorium scenarios\, review policy approaches for varying political environments\, highlight strategies to counter industry retaliation\, and hold breakout discussions for participants to workshop their specific challenges and questions. \nThe workshop is co-hosted by the Data Center Working Group\, AI Now Institute\, Anthropocene Alliance\, the Better Data Center Project\, Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services\, FreePress\, Halt the Harm\, Kairos Fellows\, Local Progress\, MediaJustice\, North Carolina Environmental Justice Network\, and TechTonic Justice. \nWednesday\, Aug 19 • 10-11:30 am PT / 1-2:30 pm ET.  \nRegister here.
