I grew up in the Memphis area that is at risk and I find it beyond unbelievable that . They (Valro) have bypassed several other communities that have mixed race communities and settled at doing the project in this community of minority black families. This is a project that could effect the water,air and soil of people surrounding the pipeline . I am so devastated that a corporation can could come and propose such a deathly threat on people that I love and grow up with. That a corporation could come and take land from people and families that have lived there for decades . I pray that they do not succeed.

Gambling the future of a community’s clean drinking water for temporary profit is entirely unacceptable.

I am a Memphis, TN resident and this matter is of extreme importance to me. We deserve clean, drinking water as the bare minimum.

The best drinking water in the country needs to be protected. The citizens of Memphis need to be protected.

Memphians oppose this pipeline. We have great water and don’t want it destroyed.

This is a threat to an already socioeconomically disadvantaged population and a threat to our drinking water.

Our city prides itself on our drinking water. To take that right away from every citizen of memphis is a massive injustice. A disgusting political move that clearly prioritizes profits over people.

Environmental consciousness should include mindfulness for marginalized communities, economic disparity, and access to viable and nonlethal bear necessities like drinkable water.

I do not want a pipeline endangering our water supplies. Let truckers make the money transporting it. We do not want this on our land. We've already seen pipelines ruin water.
