Wisconsin mother and clean-air activist Jayne Black successfully opposed a proposed data center just 12 miles from her home, leading the company to abandon the project. Black, whose children have multiple sclerosis and asthma, works as a field organizer with Moms Clean Air Force. Her personal motivation stems from her children's health conditions, and she views the victory as a win for the entire community affected by potential air pollution.
