Pulaski County Pushback — When Arkansans Fight Back
from Echoes From The Edge · host echoesfromtheedge
On the night of May 12th 2026 a standing-room-only crowd packed a Pulaski County quorum court meeting to demand regulation of two massive data centers being built in their backyard. That same morning the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce held a rooftop press conference with utility executives to tell residents everything was fine. In Episode 7 Kiler Davenport covers the growing resistance movement in Arkansas — the candidate who defeated the incumbent who let it happen, the professor who testified about air quality 11 times the national average, and the neighbors who showed up anyway.
