Staying at home when you could be out organizing is easy. Coming outside, in the heat and cold, to resist and show that we will persist is an important part of the work we’re building and doing together.

I am a proud Memphian and I am proud of our City’s history. Part of our spirit is making democracy mean something which includes protecting our right to protest, especially at a time where the federal government and our state government has made efforts to infringe on our right to assembly.

This is absurd! The court is once again on the verge of overturning precedent and rolling back our constitutional rights.

Conservative justices seem poised to weaken Voting Rights Act

Several of the court’s conservatives appeared hostile to the traditional understanding of the civil rights law.

300+ Memphians showed up to demand that the Shelby County Health Department DENY xAI’s gas turbine permit. We must protect our air from toxic chemicals and pollution!

The 15 turbines were already emitting 9.79 tons of formaldehyde a year, and now these 35 gas turbines can release up to 16.7 tons.

Memphis, Elon Musk's xAI company violated the public’s trust and lied about the Colossus facility that is poisoning our air with gas turbines. xAI submitted a permit for 15 gas turbines, but have been secretly operating 35!

Gun violence and evil killed The Dreamer, but not The Dream. The struggle for Justice remains. As we cherish Dr. King’s memory, we must commit to fight on to achieve the ideals he lived and died for—freedom, equality and social and economic justice.

The City of Memphis, our nation and the world mourns as we remember the life and immortal contributions of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the 57th anniversary of his assassination. April 4, 1968, is a day we remember, reflect and keep holy.

Trump got votes by promising to bring down the price of eggs and housing, but nobody voted for him to demolish funding for crisis hotlines, addiction treatment and measles tracking. Team MAGA must stop wrecking the American public health system.

States have been told that they can no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.
