On Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 11 AM ET, clergy, faith leaders, and people of conscience will gather at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church (301 A Street SE, Washington, D.C.) for a National Call for Repentance & Truth-Telling.
In the spirit of the prophets, we will stand together in prayer, lament, and moral resistance—calling on our nation to turn away from injustice, apathy, corruption, and oppression and recommit to the path of righteousness, truth, justice, and love. Following this sacred gathering, we will embark on a nonviolent walk from the Supreme Court to the U.S. Capitol, bearing witness to the urgent need for moral renewal in our public life. Clergy are asked to wear full vestments of their faith tradition. We invite all people of faith and conscience to join this prophetic movement and help reclaim the moral center of our democracy.
Gwynne Wilcox made history as the first Black woman on the National Labor Relations Board-only to be unlawfully removed by Trump. Now, she’s fighting back-not just for herself, but for all of us, especially Black women who have long faced systemic oppression and injustice.
Show up, stand strong, and demand what’s right.

Data centers house servers and other computing infrastructure required to store, process, and
share data used for digital applications and services. Expanded use of AI, machine learning, and cloud services by data centers drives up electricity demand as these processes continuously perform
energy intensive applications.
In addition, data centers require significant electricity to power cooling systems to preserve
the integrity of the servers. As an example, one ChatGPT query consumes ten times the electricity
compared to one query of Google’s search engine. Currently, data centers consume 4 percent of U.S. electricity generation and could consume as much as 9 percent by the end of the decade.
This rate of growth is expected to continue as companies compete on a domestic and
international level in the race to capture the AI market and expand digital services into all manner of
industry and manufacturing.
