Food & Water Watch fights for the safe food, clean water, and livable climate we all deserve.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialWe braved the rain last weekend to share this VERY important message 👇 Want to join the movement and help stop AI data centers in your community? Text FWW to 23321.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialA new Senate report “lays bare what we have long known: working Americans and local communities are footing the bill for Big Tech’s massive expansion of data centers, while these companies continue to operate without transparency.” Read more in this @time.com exclusive ⬇️
@foodandwater.bsky.socialThere are so many parallels between the threats to public safety from AI and the climate crisis. In both cases, we need legal accountability. A great analysis from @rbreich.bsky.social:
@foodandwater.bsky.socialWe're proud to organize with the East Fishkill community against a proposed data center that would consume more electricity than the entire city of Buffalo. Is it any wonder this town opposes it?
@foodandwater.bsky.socialSimultaneously lobbying for the fossil fuel industry and that industry's victims is beyond corrupt.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialYou know there's a problem with our food and agricultural systems when there are more manure-producing factory farms than there are grocery stores.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialWe cannot trust corporations to safely monitor their own products. It’s true for fossil fuels and it’s true for AI.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialFrom one Pennsylvanian: “We are united and our message is clear. We do not want data centers, and we do not want fracking anywhere near our homes, our schools or our daycares.” What's not clear is whether or not lawmakers will listen.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialWe're witnessing a growing public health crisis from diseases that are linked to pesticide exposure. By passing @booker.senate.gov's Pesticide Injury Accountability Act, we can hold pesticide corporations responsible for their harms. Tell your Reps: https://fwwat.ch/4xL202a
@foodandwater.bsky.socialTrump's EPA is abandoning Iowans, who live with the health impacts of a water pollution crisis every day - including the fastest rising cancer rate in the country.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialHurricane season is here. We're thinking of everyone in the path of Isaias, and we're continuing our work to change the conditions that lead to these climate emergencies.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialAll this during a housing crisis.
@foodandwater.bsky.socialAs usual, this administration is hostile to public opinion. It's completely antidemocratic!
@foodandwater.bsky.socialTech oligarchs think that they should be allowed to regulate themselves - even as industry insiders say AI poses an existential threat. This can't be allowed. Tell your Reps to support the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act: https://fwwat.ch/46VCEDA
@foodandwater.bsky.socialSince 2015, average water rates have risen
-1.6x faster than inflation
-2x as fast as grocery prices
-and 19% faster than median household income

@foodandwater.bsky.socialOur researchers found that in San Jose, CA, the average three-person household paid $1,416 for water in 2025. This is outrageous, and we must put an end to privatization of water!
@foodandwater.bsky.socialNationally, water rates have risen by an average of 62% since 2015. This company wants to raise rates even more.

@foodandwater.bsky.socialFor decades, Exxon and other fossil fuel companies have known exactly what they were doing, and have spent untold amounts of money and resources trying to cover up their destruction.
@foodandwater.bsky.social“Some bad things” certainly is one way to describe threats to water, air, jobs, health, democracy and more!
@foodandwater.bsky.socialFrom @grocerynerd.bsky.social, on the big picture around food, affordability and labor conditions for food+ag workers: "The industrial food system is built on a stark paradox: the same people producing, transforming, and distributing food often cannot afford to feed themselves with a healthy diet."
