Fight Data Centers
Kairos has been campaigning against Big Tech’s outsized power for years – and the data centers popping up across the globe are just the latest manifestation of tech CEOs’ obscene wealth and influence. Fighting Big Tech on your doorstep? We can help.
How Kairos Can Support Your Fight
For a decade, Kairos has been supporting organizations and communities across geography and issue areas to help them feel prepared to confront Big Tech’s power. Drop us a line at campaigns@kairosfellows.org to work with us, and read on for some of our offerings.
Data Center Hotline
We are rebooting our popular tech crisis hotline – with a focus on fighting the infrastructure that enables Big Tech to enact their agenda. Want seasoned support for your organizing? Need connections to other people in your area fighting Big Tech to build power together? Just heard about a proposal and not sure where to start? Give us a (metaphorical) ring on the hotline – coming soon.
Trainings and Skill Building
Since the beginning, our bread and butter has been interactive trainings on fighting tech harms that get results – from our first Kairos Fellowship to our Learning Labs for powerbuilding groups. Sign up here to get info about our next training cohort when it launches, or get in touch with us at organizing@kairosfellows.org if you’d like to have us facilitate a tech power, digital organizing, or data center resistance training for your group or organization.

Data Center Organizing Guide
Data centers, Big Tech’s latest extraction scheme, are the physical manifestation of our digital activity: giant warehouses full of computer servers, chips, and equipment that power AI and other technologies. In the process, data centers consume immense amounts of electricity, water, and land.

No Climate Results Found Campaign
Google’s climate commitments are insincere. They want us to think they care. They hold enough power to really make a difference. But right now, they are using smoke and mirrors to distract from the most powerful tools they have – but aren’t using – to fight the climate crisis.
Report: Google’s Eco Failures
On July 2nd, Kairos Fellowship published an investigation titled “Google’s Eco-Failures,” which reveals that Google’s expansion of generative AI technologies is causing the corporation to increase its greenhouse gas emissions and total energy and water consumption.
