Join us in protecting the Paluxy Valley and making a meaningful difference in our community.
1. Write the Governor
Ask Governor Abbott for a full moratorium on Data Centers while a special session is held or until the 2027 legislature can convene and take action.
Link to email Gov Abbott: https://gov.texas.gov/apps/contact/opinion

2. Send an email to Rhett Bennett, Founder & CEO of Black Mountain
Ask Black Mountain to donate the land to Dinosaur Valley State Park that they have purchased near and adjoining the Park. This would protect the wetlands and the Golden Cheek Warbler habitat on the property rather than destroying both it and DVSP. Copy EdgeConnex who is considering a partnership.
