Manor Township is ahead of the game as the only municipality in Lancaster County with a Data Center zoning ordinance on the books. Come join us to hear about what’s going on in the fight against data centers and how you can get involved! #datacenters #lancaster #itsuptous

That’s why we you hope you’ll join us at our next Community Conversation around the threat of data centers in Manor Township, on April 2nd from 6-8pm, in the Reighard Multi-Purpose Room at Millersville University!

The fight against data centers in Lancaster is far from over. We still have work to do in the city but we must take our fight county wide.

(2/2) Call Senators Fetterman and McCormick today to increase the pressure on them to vote NO on restricting our freedoms.

(1/2) Don't let the name fool you - the SAVE America Act is designed to restrict our right to a free and fair election. If you changed your name for any reason, ie. after getting married or changing your legal gender, it would make it very difficult for you to vote.

(2/2) We wrote stacks of letters about important concerns like stopping ICE, funding affordable housing, and protecting LGBTQ rights. Thank you to Lancaster Distilleries - Columbia for hosting us. We ❤️ inclusive businesses.

(1/2) We had a wonderful time at our letter writing social in Columbia. This was a great way to live out LSU’s co-governance value together by sharing our voice with elected officials.

The Black Panther Party gave wings to the Black Power movement and left lasting positive impacts on our communities – including the Free Breakfast Program, which led to many free meal programs at schools. Read more here: pastandsup.org/lancaster/2026…
