The Byhalia Pipeline would cut through mostly black neighborhoods in southwest Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn — Hollywood stars and well-known politicians are the latest to oppose the controversial Byhalia oil pipeline planned for the Mid-South.

The 45-mile pipeline would run from the Valero refinery in downtown Memphis through the predominately Black southwest communities of Boxtown, Westwood, Whitehaven, and into Mississippi.

Concerns over the pipeline range from racial inequities to possibly contaminating local drinking water.

Please sign the "No Oil in Our Soil" petition to stop this pipeline which threatens the water supply! Ty!
