Demand Transparency
Unchecked commercial development threatens our neighborhoods. Access clear, data-backed analysis of local zoning proposals and use your voice to protect our community's infrastructure.
Multiple Ways to Participate
We read the complex public records so you can take direct action. Choose how you want to shape our community's future today.
Attend Meetings
Volunteer with Us
Sign Active Petitions
Show up. Be seen. The more people present at City Council and County Commissioner meetings, the better. We need as many people as possible to just SHOW UP to meetings. It DOES make a difference! We can help you if you want to speak up!
Help monitor public records, distribute reports to neighbors, or coordinate neighborhood-level impact campaigns.
Demand public hearings on major commercial zoning changes before decisions are made behind closed doors. Sign active petitions against unwanted activity. Petitions or petition signing locations will be posted directly on our site when available.

Don't need another t-shirt but still want to donate?
At Public Trust Collective, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission.
Our organization is raising funds in efforts to fight a data center being built in our community against the wishes of the majority of our citizens. Our citizens have showed up and voiced their opinions against it, but the city continues to proceed forward, pushing for the better interests of the corporations and not for their residents. This doesn't only affect Edgerton, however, but multiple communities around us! Our goal is to raise the funds to fight for our citizens and our community. We will not take corporate money or political donations. Therefore, we need all the help we can get from our friends, families, and local neighbors!
How you can help power our mission:
Donate: Every dollar counts. Contribute now to help us reach our goal.
Share: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and on social media. Your advocacy can amplify our impact.
Volunteer: Your time and skills can make an impact too.
Use either button below to donate directly to our cause. If you prefer checks, make them out to Public Trust Collective. Every dollar donated is logged and accounted for and all funds go directly toward the cause of our nonprofit. Transparency is key!
Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable and we appreciate all of you! We could not do this without you!
Know the Stance of Elected Officials
Another way we can take action is to know what our elected officials stand for before we vote. We have numerous elections coming up, including one to vote in a new governor of Kansas. Data centers are a bipartisan topic. Knowing where your candidates stand allow you to make decisions based on the candidates who have your best interests in mind. We have done the research on where political candidates stand on this topic so you can know who you are voting for before the election.
Know which of your senate and house representatives supported tax exemption for data center construction:

Allow Citizens of Edgerton the Opportunity to Vote for Data Center Placement
Formal petition was circulated to request that citizens have a voice. It was requested that Edgerton citizens be able to vote for if they want data centers allowed in their city limits. This petition allowed for citizen voting rights on these projects, whether you were for or against them!
The Petition for an Ordinance in the City of Edgerton has been turned in to the City Clerk at 1:16pm on July 15th, 2026. Good work Edgerton! You did it!
