San José is planning to bring 2,000 MW of data centers online — with almost no public process.

The City is advancing a historic buildout that could have long-term consequences for air quality, water, noise, and heat in our neighborhoods. Yet residents have received little more than an agenda posting — while the City has already met with over 50 developers.

This page makes it easy to speak up. Sign the petition, send a letter to City Council before the April 21st deadline, and show up if you can. Your voice is part of the public record.

Step 1

Sign the petition

San José City Council must exercise proper due diligence by holding a public study session on the cumulative public health impacts of bringing 2,000 MW of data centers online, including impacts on air quality, water, noise, and heat. The public has a right to transparency, accountability, and a meaningful opportunity to understand how development at this scale could affect community health, neighborhood conditions, and long-term quality of life.

Step 2 — Go further

Submit a letter to City Council

A letter to the City Council has even more impact. Personalize the template below, then copy and send it from your own email app.

To: city.clerk@sanjoseca.gov
Subject: Item 3.4 Data Centers and PG&E Partnership Status Report – Public Comment
Add your name and zip code to the end of the letter to make it more personal:
