What We Stand For
Too often details are concealed, residents are misled and communities are broken.
Truth
Too often details are concealed, residents are misled and communities are broken.
Transparency
Your community deserves transparency on water use, energy demand, chemicals, taxes, health, property value protection, and infrastructure costs.
Accountability
Communities deserve elected officials who represent them, not corporations, when billion-dollar deals are on the table.
Intelligent Growth
Silicon Valley says move fast and break things. We don't believe in that entitlement in Wisconsin. We believe in Measure Twice, Cut Once. We respect our neighbors and value the next generation over the next quarter.
Neighbors, Not Outsiders
We're Wisconsin residents who've seen these proposals arrive in our own communities. We know what it's like to feel outpaced by a process designed to move fast.
Adam Magnuson
Co-Founder
Greenleaf, WI
Born and raised near Green Bay, Adam co-founded LedgeStone Vineyards and a brewery along the Fox River in Wrightstown. In January 2026, a proposed hyperscale AI data center across the road from his vineyard changed things. He found himself asking questions that no one in the room could fully answer, and realized his community wasn't the only one that needed to ask them. His belief is simple: progress that can't withstand honest questions isn't progress worth making.
Prescott Balch
Co-Founder
Caledonia, WI
Prescott spent his career in financial services building the kind of large-scale software infrastructure that runs inside data centers. When a proposal arrived in his Caledonia community in 2025, he understood the technical claims being made and, more importantly, what was being left unsaid. He has been helping communities across the Midwest get to the full picture ever since.
Charlie Berens
Co-Founder
Milwaukee, WI
Charlie Berens is a comedian and Emmy winning journalist from Wisconsin who believes in transparency and communities deciding their future, not Big Tech.

Maily Kocinski
Maily Kocinski is a lifelong Wisconsin resident, educator, researcher, and rural property owner in the Town of Trenton near Beaver Dam. After experiencing dramatic and unexplained water system changes near the Meta data center construction site beginning in 2025, she began documenting creek disruptions, neighboring well impacts, regulatory responses, and hydrologic concerns affecting her community. Her work focuses on environmental transparency, groundwater protection, regulatory accountability, and the impacts of large-scale data center development on rural communities. Through public presentations, independent research, documentation, and media interviews, she advocates for science-based investigation, community awareness, and stronger protections for residents living near industrial development projects.
