Join Our Coalition
Formed in 2025, the Marylanders for Data Center Reform is a group of nearly 50 (and growing) environmental organizations and community groups working to address the impacts that hyperscale data centers have on communities and the environment. The Coalition is focused on state-level policy and advocacy in Maryland, in collaboration with our local and regional partners. As a Coalition, we are deeply concerned about the impacts data center development will have on ratepayers, communities, water and air quality, and land use decisions. Developers should prioritize sustainability with minimal impacts to communities.
Who Can Participate
- Environmental & social organizations and community groups who work in Maryland
- Groups who do not work in Maryland may participate as partners in Coalition activities, but cannot sign onto policy sign-on letters or join the Coalition as members
- Individuals and government officials may not join the Coalition, but are encouraged to sign-up for Nature Forward’s Action Alerts
Community Agreements
