Rally Report: Stand Up, Fight Back Saturday in Caledonia
 |  |  |
Neighbors turned out at the corner of Routes 36 and 20 in Caledonia on August 8, holding signs into steady Corn Festival traffic. Around 50 people came out, honks and waves outnumbered the frowns, and a crowd that doesn’t usually see us got the message anyway. Thanks to everyone who showed up — see you at the next one.
Thank You — We Hit Our $300 Match!
You did it — GVI supporters met Indivisible’s $300 match goal for August. Thank you to everyone who gave. The match may be spoken for, but the work isn’t: if you’re able, your donation still goes straight to beating Tenney, backing Alissa Ellman, and keeping GVI’s organizing going.
Plan Ahead: What’s an AI Data Center, and Why Is One Proposed Near Avon?
A battery storage complex has been proposed in Avon, near the Lakeville border — one of many AI data centers now going up across New York and the country. Get up to speed before it becomes a local issue: find the data centers already near you, and learn in two minutes why they use so much power and water.

Want to learn more in person? The Conesus Lake Association hosts “An AI Update” at Vitale Park on Thursday, August 20. This time it’s in person only — no virtual option, though they’ll post a video afterward.
