@nowthisimpact: A 14-year-old Lowell Public Schools student was removed and detained by a police officer after she spoke at a data center public forum at Butler Middle School in Massachusetts on June 29, 2026. She had been repeatedly raising her hand throughout the meeting but wasn’t called on, so she spoke up at the end. Some of the 200 people in attendance chanted ‘shame’ at police while leaving. (video from 350 Mass of Greater Lowell)

We don’t want data centres. We want a liveable future, cheaper housing and affordable food, bills and healthcare.
