Fossil fuel corporations behind the Byhalia Pipeline said: “We took, basically, a point of least resistance.”
They were wrong.
Memphis Community Against the Pipeline (MCAP) is a Black-led grassroots movement in Memphis, Tennessee that fought and beat Valero Energy Corporation and Plains All American’s Byhalia Connection Pipeline, a proposed crude oil pipeline that would cut through Southwest Memphis communities already burdened by decades of environmental injustice.
The Memphis City Council and Shelby County Commissioners have the power to protect the community now and our water source - the Memphis Sand Aquifer which over one million people rely on it. Take Action to let Memphis leaders know protecting water matters!
