Our most vulnerable Black families are suffering and being taken advantage of while City & County leaders who are appointed and elected sit back and applaud Elon Musk’s Poisoning of our air. It is PAST TIME to do what is right! Shut down the turbines, #StopxAI 🛑 #ProtectMemphis
🔥 @NBCNews covers the MEMPHIS VS. MUSK fight: “They are now at the center of a battle with the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.”
@keshaunpearson: “Until we see all of the turbines removed from South Memphis, there’s nothing to celebrate.”

The Byhalia Connection pipeline "has come under fire from environmental groups that say it endangers the prized aquifer Memphis relies on for drinking water, and from community activists for cutting through Black neighborhoods.” #ProtectMemphis

“The use of Nationwide Permit 12 allows the Corps to fast-track a pipeline project without getting input from the communities that will be directly & permanently affected by that pipeline.”
This is what environmental racism looks like. #ProtectMemphis

Memphis is carrying an over burden of pollution-A new report from Valero that shows more of the fallout that occurred that night: thousands of pounds of a toxic gas were released in the incident https://t.co/A5YcYNS5cA
Last night in a town hall with @TNRepCooper members of the public spoke about the Byhalia Pipeline. Not a single voice spoke in favor it. Not one. @MEM_Council @MayorMemphis @MemphisCAP_org @POTUS @SierraClub @NRDC @mrdannyglover @EJinAction @ChaseTheCEO
“People are important. For too long the people in Boxtown and Westwood and South Memphis,” said @Justinjpearson with @MemphisCAP_org, “have been neglected by institutions and people who are in positions of power. And time’s up for that.”

Environmental Racism = Slow Violence. Why is the Byhalia Pipeline being jammed through a low-wealth, Black community? It's burdened by toxic facilities (facilities which wealthier parts of Memphis don't want). It's a neighborhood with a cancer rate 3-4 times the national average.
A big THANK YOU from our #ClimateReality #Memphis Mid-South chapter to our TX leaders @CRP_DFW for answering the call & standing with us to support @MemphisCAP_org #ProtectMemphis @ProtectAquifer &say @MEM_Council @FrankColvett @MayorMemphis @MLGW OPPOSE #Byhalia #NoOilInOurSoil
We stand w/ Memphis Community Against the Pipeline to fight the Byhalia crude oil pipeline planned through South Memphis and Mississippi. It endangers the predominantly Black cities. City Council votes on Wednesday.

@MayorMemphis Maybe Plains All American isn't who you want to trust building the Byhalia Pipeline over your city's drinking water: https://t.co/QHQVWFUl0c @MemphisCAP_org
Do all you can to #StopTheByhaliaPipeline !! Help #ProtectMemphis submit a letter to the @CityOfMemphis and @CityOfMemphis in opposition!
Regarding the Byhalia Pipeline, we are firmly committed to delivering high quality drinking water. We have limited authority around the permitting process and trying to better understand the impacts to our water supply. 1/2 #MLGW #MLGWNews #ServingYouIsWhatWeDo

Please join us today via ZOOM at 1PM. We will hear Memphis Landowners stories. The @MEM_Council should unanimously vote to OPPOSE the Byhalia Pipeline! #StopByhalia #ProtectMemphis #ByeByeByhalia
Thank you for joining us in the fight to Protect Memphis’ most resilient communities! #byebyebyhalia #ProtectMemphis @MEM_Council
Water in lower-wealth communities is just as sacred as everywhere else. Plains and Valero’s @ByhaliaPipeline endangers Boxtown, Westwood, and Memphis’ water source. It’s environmental racism in action and cruel, and unjust. @MEM_COUNCIL #StopByhalia. @MemphisCAP_org @MLGW
Thank you @ClimateReality for getting the nation’s eyes on this crucial @MEM_Council #environmentaljustice vote for @MemphisCAP_org on 2/16 to help us say #ByeByeByhalia #NoOilInOurSoil #ProtectMemphis @MLGW

Canvassing in freezing temperatures to inform the community about the impending vote by @MEM_Council on Tuesday and the dangers of the Byhalia Pipeline. Will the Memphis City Council choose people over profits? @MemphisCAP_org #byebyebyhalia #ProtectMemphis
Building more fossil fuel pipelines is reckless and many proposed routes are racist. I stand with those opposing the Keystone, DAPL, MVP, Line 3, and Byhalia pipelines.
Live Update: We have received hand warmers while canvassing 🙏🏾 #ProtectOurAquifer #Nooilinoursoil #ProtectMemphis
