3. If you live in York County, send a letter to Peach Bottom Township and the York County Commissioners about the proposed 825 megawatt AI facility in Peach Bottom.

2. Send a letter to the Mayor, City Council, and Planning Commission if you live in Lancaster or Lampeter Township. The proposed center would also affect residents in LT.

One thing is clear: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc have made history! Thousands of working-class people have stood up to the capitalist class to demand a more affordable and livable New York City. Win or lose, the fight is just beginning! Join DSA today: dsausa.org/join

She does not deserve to represent a vibrant, diverse city like Lancaster.

Lancaster deserves better. If you agree, send a letter to the Mayor and City Council asking them to put pressure on Janet to resign.

We’re calling on Janet Diaz to remove herself from city council and abandon her Mayoral campaign. She has a history of Islamophobia, and has repeatedly made racist and xenophobic remarks toward City Councilor Ahmed Ahmed.
