A new data center has been proposed in Chantilly that would rely on fuel cell technology to convert natural gas into electricity. Although the data center would primarily get its electricity from the fuel cells, it would also require additional power from the electrical grid during “higher load periods,” along with diesel generators as a backup power source. Emissions from power plants that feed existing data centers already contribute significantly to air pollution through t

Dear Champions of the EEOB: On May 7, the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) will consider a proposal to paint the entire historic granite exterior of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB). While our lawsuit contends that this project is illegally before NCPC at this time, we will provide substantive responses to the proposal and ask experts and members of the public toweigh in on the dangers of this project, which would permanently harm and alter a Nation

We have agency. We will write the future. We the People need to take the power back. As usual, they go LOW, and then they go LOWER! There are some real shenanigans going on with the redistricting vote. You may have seen, or received, a flyer or text stating that Gov. Spanberger and former President Obama oppose this redistricting, which is, I hate to say it, fake news. Yes, the “no fake news” criers are out there publishing fake news and trying to confuse and outright mislea

Given Trump’s flimsy-to-nonexistent case for a potentially catastrophic military adventure and Iraq War-level false claims from his advisors, you’d think that Democratic leaders would be doing everything in their power to pump the brakes on this war. But some Democratic leaders have reportedly been hesitant to advance legislation aimed at preventing an attack. Chuck Schumer is telling reporters Trump needs to do more briefings instead of outright saying: No war. And Repub

“When Trump orders MAGA governors to rig their maps so he can hold onto power, we cannot sit by and do nothing.” — James Abrenio , a Democratic lawyer from Northern Virginia.

Democracy in the United States is in crisis. But the story of this moment is not only one of crisis. It is also one of courage. That’s why we at Democracy Forward have just released The State of Democracy in the United States and the Work to Rebuild It – an illustrative record of what is at stake, and what is possible when people organize, pursue accountability, and refuse to cede the promise of our democracy. Together, we can use this moment of crisis as a catalyst for real

History isn’t just found in textbooks; it’s etched into the grooves of our favorite music. From the headlines to the hymns, musicians have always been our most urgent chroniclers . They don’t just report the news; they capture the emotional temperature of a nation in crisis. When statistics fail to tell the whole story, a song preserves the fear, the fury, and the fragile hope of living through it. The following icons are transforming social upheaval into sonic testimony:

Your weekly to-dos from Indivisible: Use this link to call your Senators to tell them: Rein in ICE NOW. The coalition behind ICE Out For Good is following our historic weekend of action by flooding Congress with calls demanding that they use the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to rein in ICE. After calling your senators, use this link to call your representative. Send an email to your senators demanding they restore healthcare subsidies NOW. Last week, the House v

from Ezra Levin at Indivisible National Rebellions are built on hope (because I can’t end the year without another quote from Andor). But seriously, this is hard work. And we can’t do it unless we have a firm grasp of what we’re looking forward to. So I was buoyed by the fierce, hard-headed optimism of Indivisible members who wrote in with their hopes for 2026. I’ll give you the top three: Win the 2026 midterms. Damn straight. We’re going to build the largest midterm margins

Democracy Forward continues to take the Trump Administration on in court. And they win. Politico Magazine highlighted Democracy Forward’s work in response to the rising threats to our democracy from the Trump-Vance administration. The story, which identifies Democracy Forward as a key player “in the machinery of the legal resistance to Trump,” highlights our efforts to secure legal victories for people and communities in the United States. They have also created a new c
