In this second installment of our discussion on AI and data centers, Rev. Michael Malcom and Lindsay Harper continue their deep dive into the implications of constructing data centers across the United States. They examine the role of the Public Service Commission (PSC) in granting authorization for these centers, as well as the consequences for our communities, particularly concerning escalating energy costs and the impact on our natural resources.

This week, we are joined by Kyle Crider, the Program and Policy Director for The People's Justice Council. Discover how our new campaign, Minus AI (-AI), came to be, our objectives, and how we aim to reshape the conversation surrounding data centers and their significance for our future.

As we wrap up this year we invite you to join us as we reflect on our accomplishments and highlights from 2025.

Topics include:

• Our award winning documentary "Exposing the Unspoken" which focuses on utility injustice,
• The launch of our newest campaign -AI which looks at the impact of data centers on our communities, and how we regain our humanity in the age of automation,
• And the recent special election in Georgia and the Public Service Commission.

We also share our plans for 2026 and our upcoming documentary "Moving from Resilience to Restoration."

Our guests include Ms. Wanda Mosley, Deputy Policy Director for Black Voters Matter, and Mareshah Malcom, Programs Director for The People's Justice Council.

Rev. Malcom and Lindsay Harper kick off Season 2 with guest Alexander Easdale, the Founding Executive Director of the Southeast Climate & Energy Network.

They discuss the importance of climate advocacy, funding challenges and how organizations can support each other through building a community of shared purpose.

Tune in for the launch of -AI (Minus AI), a new campaign from The People's Justice Council and Arm in Arm. This campaign is about reclaiming our humanity in the age of automation.

Everyday AI is being forced upon us whether we want it or not. How do we push back against the data centers that are popping up across the country to support AI technology? And, how do we push back against AI developers to let know that we don't need or want AI for everything?

Learn more about the movement, how to get involved and how we can make a difference together.

In the first part of this two-part series, Rev. Michael Malcom and Lindsay Harper delve into the impact of AI and data centers, examining who truly bears the financial burden of their existence.

They are joined by Wanda Mosley, Deputy Policy Director for Black Voters Matter, who shares her perspectives on Georgia’s 2025 elections. She emphasizes the significance of voting for Public Service Commission (PSC) leaders who prioritize people over profits by challenging utility giants like Southern Company, and discusses the implications for ratepayers.
