I'm still at @london_climate, but my producer DeJuan Cross held down #ClimateFriday with a great conversation featuring Abre' Conner of @NAACP, and @mediabritt and @igobyjay of the Hip Hop Caucus. Check it out at 9am ET, only on WPFW 89.3 FM or https://t.co/sJhwYnLnLl
Today, the @selc_org, on behalf of the NAACP and @youngiftedgreen filed an appeal with the Memphis and Shelby County Air Pollution Control Board, challenging the Shelby County Health Department's decision to issue an air permit to xAI as well as the department's decisions related to the operation of unpermitted methane gas turbines.
"The NAACP and community members have repeatedly shared concerns that xAI is causing a significant increase in the pollution of the air Memphians breathe. The health department should focus on people's health — not on maximizing corporate gain."

🚨Whoopi Goldberg says "I would like every Republican out there to stop referring to this man [Trump] as the president.He is not the president!”
What’s your response to Goldberg?
Far too often, Black communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by hurricanes and other natural disasters. We don’t need lip service, we need strong environmental and climate justice policies that protect our people at their most vulnerable moments. #HurricaneHelena #VPDebate2024
"As with many other systemic failures, the inextricable link between housing discrimination and water access is clear. We will continue to advocate for policies that reverse these archaic policies and advance housing, and water justice for all."
