Living beside the Colossus of Boxtown

Mississippi officials, including Gov. Reeves, and Elon Musk don't want you to know about the harms of data centers. If you want to know about the potential detrimental environmental impacts of data firms like Musk's xAI, just visit Boxtown, an historic Black community in South Memphis.

No one has authority in this country to decide who has a right to live in a jurisdiction and who doesnβt. No one can be banished from a jurisdiction. We will not stand by if the federal government attempts to abuse its power in this way.

The federal government does not have legal authority to disappear large groups of people because they cannot afford housing or because they are visibly homeless. They do not have the authority to force people to move out of the state or city they live in.

People without homes have the same legal rights as anyone else in this country. They are protected from unlawful search and seizure by the government. Their property cannot be taken without due process. They have the right to travel, the right to choose which jurisdiction to live in.

People without homes work, just like people with homes. They have families and they donβt. They vote or they donβt. They support Republican candidates, Democratic candidates, and third party candidates. They have a variety of personal, religious, and political beliefs. They are just people.

People are not criminals or dangerous, by virtue of their unhoused status. People are struggling to afford rent and food in an expensive city. We should not have homelessness in our nationβs capital. But the path to ending homelessness is housing, not displacement.
