Memphis City Council voted down a proposed 12 month data center moratorium. We will keep showing up and having our voices heard on this important issue AND that’s why we are taking our fight to rein in data centers and the billionaires who build them to the US Congress.

In Tennessee last week, I told voters that @Justinjpearson winning would send an important message to the country. Why? Because we need bold, anti-corruption, pro-worker candidates. So now I’m asking you to support a slate of candidates who fit this mold. secure.actblue.com/donate/cs…

#NOW: the NEW clear bag policy taking citizens by surprise at #Memphis City Hall. This woman ubered here - has nowhere to store her purse. ALSO: chamber doors are ZIP TIED…no one allowed in until right before the meeting. This has NEVER happened in my 30 years reporting here.

🚨@AttorneyCrump endorsed my campaign for Congress! He is a civil rights giant who holds the powerful accountable for exploiting marginalized folks. His support is critical in our fight to deliver legislative wins that put working families over billionaires and corporations.

Met a voter who happens to be a Republican for Pearson! He refuses to participate in destroying our democracy. Trump-endorsed Brent Taylor supports expensive and illegal wars, driving up costs for all of us. We must put everyday people first, no matter what party.
