But Nashville has meaningful data center regulations already in place — why is this activist group convening such a powerful panel in a city that appears to have it figured out? First, the Nashville community is demanding more, and who is Stand Up Nashville to rest on its laurels? And second, for the data center fight to succeed, it must grow from a local fight to a statewide, and even a regional one. In talking with these Tennessee changemakers, including a charismatic young legislator making good trouble in the Tennessee House, Danny finds once again that Big Tech’s efforts to divide and isolate us are actually building bridges to bring us together. \n\nIn this episode, we hear from:\nKeShaun Pearson: Director of Memphis Community Against Pollution (MCAP)\nShani Glapion: Organizer with Stand Up Nashville\nRepresentative Aftyn Behn: Representing district 51 in the Tennessee House of Representatives\nChristopher Mitchell: Director of ILSR’s Community Broadband initiative\nOdessa Kelly: Executive Director, Stand Up Nashville\nElena Schlossberg: Executive Director, Coalition to Protect Prince William County\nTrey Bussey: Senior Attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC)\nAbre' Conner: Director of the Center for Environmental and Climate Justice at the NAACP\nLinks & Resources: \nSouthern Environmental Law Center (Trey Bussey’s Organization): https://www.selc.org/\nProtect our Aquifer (Sarah Houston’s Organization): https://www.protectouraquifer.org/\nCoalition to Protect Prince William County (Elena Schlossberg’s Organization): https://protectpwc.org/\nMemphis NAACP (Abre Conner’s Organization): https://naacpmemphis.org/\nMemphis Citizens against Pollution (KeShaun Pearson’s Organization): https://www.memphiscap.org/ \nStand Up Nashville: https://standupnashville.org/\nAftyn Behn’s website:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2r0oWj8q-LIn_qXB30TRK3L-6ZDSY1ZIpjMQ98c1vk0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNDgw/MjEyNzc3OTRjOWVl/MDNkMWZkMGEwMGJj/MzE1NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
