We come to you early on this Water Wednesday, with special guest Seth Bernard. He's here to discuss data centers in Michigan, their environmental impacts, and the community's response through activism and protests. We touch on some events happening today in response to DTEs data center, check them out below. Water is a sacred resource, and there's a need for collective action to protect it. Seth shares a powerful song that serves as an anthem for the movement at the end. It's going to be a powerful show folks, tune in and #stayafloat

Rally & March at DTE Headquarters in Detroit - Wednesday, December 3 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET @ Gather at Beacon Park across from DTE Headquarters (map)

"We’re showing up in-person to protest this plan and make it clear that a virtual “hearing” cannot substitute for a real, transparent review of a plan that could lock us into higher electric bills and more fossil fuels for years"

Virtual MPSC “Public Hearing” - Wednesday, December 3 at 6:30 p.m. ET

Virtual, hosted by the MPSC

"The Commission is taking comments on DTE’s proposal, but this hearing will not create an evidentiary record. That’s exactly why it’s so important that hundreds of people show up, speak out, and demand a full contested case with testimony, discovery, and real scrutiny."
