Our mission is to pursue #environmentaljustice for Black communities in SW Memphis, protect the area's health and environment, and prevent environmental racism.
The city is now home to xAI’s Colossus, the world’s largest supercomputer.

WATCH: “HOW IS IT GOOD FOR MEMPHIS?”
@MemphisCAP_org ED @keshaunpearson has questions about Elon Musk’s MEMPHIS-based Supercomputer XAI, which dropped into BOXTOWN with no community input and has locals very concerned about the impacts.
Keep in mind as Elon Musk implodes our federal government that his eagerness to disregard legal processes has been on full display in Memphis. Our communities deserve transparency, accountability, & protection from more toxic pollution. newsweek.com/elon-musks-new-…
Quick update: On Tuesday, February 18th the Memphis City Council unanimously approved the sale of 13 acres of City-owned property in proximity to the T.E. Maxson Wastewater Facility to xAI for the building of the proposed Colossus Water Recycling Plant.

An xAI representative received a mixed reception and heavy skepticism from the Memphis City Council regarding the company’s plan to buy 13 city-owned acres where it will build the greywater plant. dailymemphian.com/article/49…
Memphis deserves answers. 🚨 xAI’s proposed graywater plant could impact South Memphis’ water, so who really benefits? MCAP & @ProtectAquifer are pushing back, asking the tough questions, and standing up for the community. Stay informed.

#Virginia is the 🌏 leader in data centers, but their energy demand could TRIPLE the state's electricity use and ⬆️ bills by nearly $40/month over the next 15 years. 😮 Support new VA legislation to push for clean energy, efficiency responsible growth!
