We’re a Mississippi grassroots coalition-turned non-profit raising concerns about xAI. xAI's Southaven power plant, which borders both Horn Lake and Memphis and is intended to provide energy for their data center(s), is surrounded by our homes, churches, parks, and schools.This project has raised serious concerns about transparency and regulatory accountability, and whether the public is truly being heard in decisions that directly affect our health, environment, and quality of life.We have worked to increase transparency— providing accessible information and ensuring our neighbors are not left in the dark as this project continues to move forward at an alarming pace. We are advocating for our communities' rights to clean air, quiet nights, responsible growth, and honest leadership.If you’re frustrated, concerned, or just want to understand what’s really going on— you’re not alone. We believe our communities deserve better. Join us to take action, stay informed, and protect our communities.
