@keshaunpearson & @justinjpearson ask MISSISSIPPI to stand up to xAI. Memphis leaders didn’t.

🔥PEARSON BROS: “XAI & Elon are violating our human right to clean air… they’re targeting us.”
@keshaunpearson & @justinjpearson rip XAI for polluting MEMPHIS air and call out mayors Young & Harris and the Chamber for selling out their health to the richest man in the world. #MemphisVsMusk
MEMPHIS, we need your help:

This year, $3mil of funds are available to go directly to the community within 5 miles of Colossus 1&2. We need an accurate picture of what the community wants to do with that money in order for our board to make a recommendation to the Memphis city council.
Our community deserves to know if we are breathing toxic air. The air we breathe is being polluted, but how much? With what chemicals? Memphis Community Against Pollution and The Center of Engagement Environmental Justice and Health ( @ceejhaction ) has been collecting data and will present a report on Thursday, 5/21!

Black Women have always been the force and foundation of any movement for progress. Now they are being targeted, by tools of voter suppression and fallic founded subpoenas. To the Black women standing in the gap, making real sacrifices for our rights and respect while refusing to settle.
Thank you
Leader Stacey Abrams, Rep. Oliver, Tequila, LJ, Tikeila, Rachael, Ash-lee, Amber, Temeeka, Elizabeth and the host of Black women who have been the engine of protests & progress.

Bill Lee, Cameron Sexton, and Republicans in the TN General Assembly unashamedly and intentionally diluted Black voting power in TN. They did this all with a smile on their faces. The Republican justices on the Supreme Court are ruled by partisan politics and rolled the red carpet out for Jim Crow 2.0 and the new confederacy. We need more investment, organizing, and resources in the south more than ever to combat this racist, MAGA assault on our democracy.
WE ARE STILL HERE!! I started this week walking 9 miles for my home, my community, my legacy. I ended it standing up to White Supremacy in the State House and we are still here! There is a long road ahead but as long as we work together I know it’s better on the other side. I love y’all and thank you for your prayers and support! 🙏🏾💙

9 miles.. for Justice, for fairness, for holding the rights our ancestors earned with their lives. 9 miles of joy, chanting, and love filled conversations! 9 miles in and we have a long way to go, I’m just glad I added 9 miles today with my brother and our community!
