Kars Alfrink speaking at the teach-in on the politics of data centres, Plimsollweg, Amsterdam

Kars speaks from a red lectern on a flatbed trailer in a grassy field, gesturing with one hand. A handwritten sign on the lectern reads "nobody asked for AI." People sit on the grass in the foreground, some in keffiyehs, and one holds up an Extinction Rebellion sign. Others stand behind them, and a BIJ1 flag flies in the crowd. Behind the trailer, a white construction fence surrounds the half-built Microsoft data centre: concrete pillars with rebar sticking out of the tops, scaffolding with a Palestinian flag, and a crane. Office towers rise against a blue sky.
