Get to a Council meeting
Show Up
A full room is a message the Council can't ignore. Come to any of these meetings — and don't miss the one where the data center is on the agenda. Wear orange so the room reads as one movement.
Speak Your 3 Minutes
The lawsuit already won full environmental review and public hearings — now the asks are about holding that ground. Say you're a resident, remind them the promised community workshop still hasn't happened, and ask for what the campaign is asking for:
- 01
A moratorium on Phases 2 and 3 — no further approvals, permits, or entitlements until the court-ordered environmental review is complete and certified.
- 02
Close the side door: commit on the record that no modification to this project goes through the Zoning Administrator's streamlined minor-change process — every change comes back to a noticed public hearing.
Want citations to back you up? Every claim is sourced in the public record — and the permitting loophole is explained step by step.
Find Every Meeting Yourself
Council meetings, board hearings, and their agendas are all posted online. Under California's Brown Act, the City must announce every meeting and publish its finalized agenda at least 72 hours in advance — so there's always time to see whether the data center is on the agenda and plan to show up.
Keep the pressure on
Tell Your Neighbors
Most of Pittsburg found out about this project after the vote. The campaign grows one conversation at a time — share the site, and bring one person with you to the next meeting.
