**Join Duluth Indivisible for a People’s Forum on the Hermantown Data Center.**
Come hear from experts, not people who expect or hope to gain financially or politically from the data center development. We’ve heard lots of promises; we’ve seen shifting sands, and we’ve witnessed NDA’s and continued lack of transparency.
**Confirmed panelists and areas of expertise:**
* Cindy Olson: School Financing
* Prescott Balch: [stopped a data center](https://www.widatacenterfacts.org/) in Caledonia, Wisconsin
* Hudson Kingston: Legal Director [CURE](https://curemn.org/)
* JT Haines: Northeastern Minnesota Director, [MCEA](https://www.mncenter.org)
* David Schneider: AI and Technology (University of Saskatchewan, School of Environment and Sustainability)
**Remember, knowledge is power, and data centers are not inevitable.**
The format will be a panel discussion with questions prepared by the organizing team, curated questions from participants submitted with this [form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeyUs5aYI_K-4x5vLkbHELoruzEG_y5blCCVwpw2ikWvorf_g/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=117500717627205902737), and time permitting, questions from the floor.
Please note that this meeting will run longer than our regular monthly meeting to give ample time for questions and discussion.
