Tech companies count on nobody reading the fine print, but we do. MediaJustice investigates who is building what, who is paying for it, and who is getting paid. The People Say No was the first regional analysis of data centers in the South, with case studies from five states. Media Capture maps how tech oligarchs bought the media system. Then we turn the research into tools people can use: fact sheets on specific projects, the BroBots vs the People webinar series, and regional trainings for organizers across the South and Southwest.
“MJ is [building] an alternative future for your community, one that’s different from the one that Silicon Valley wants to sell you.”

The People Say No: Resisting Data Centers in the South is our groundbreaking report revealing how tech corporations are quietly draining the South – economically and environmentally. This is the first comprehensive, regional analysis of data centers with original research and case studies from Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Media Capture: Who Controls the Story Controls the Future maps how Tech Oligarchs have captured the media system through ownership, financial influence and platform control. This report is for organizers, activists, and communities of color who are fighting Big Tech across many fronts, from data centers, surveillance, AI and labor.
