ACTION: Call your senators TODAY and tell them to kill the BAAJA dirty data center deal!

Hey, friends. TODAY, Monday 11/9, the US Senate will consider the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) — which would make it easier for companies to build data centers and pipelines.

Please call your senators NOW and tell them to kill the BAAJA bill! You can find them at reps.fyi.

And if you need more convincing, here’s Trump’s own words about how the bill would help pipelines and data centers.

Trump confirms that the #BAAJA permitting bill locks in his dirty energy agenda & helps build data centers

The Detention Watch Network also says the bill would make it easier to build Trump’s concentration camps.

Call your reps, friends!

We need your help! The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) would weaken tools communities have to challenge detention projects and hold immigration agencies accountable. This would make it easier to build detention facilities and much harder to stop them.✍🏽Act now: bit.ly/NOBAAJA
