“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible.”

— An unnamed GOP operative, quoted by Politico, on Elon Musk.

This is what insiders from Musk’s own party are saying about the man trying to take advantage of Memphis’ lax environmental regulations to operate his methane-powered data center, poisoning an entire community in the process, John.

But party infighting, off-put former allies, and low public opinion won’t be enough to stop the wealthiest man on earth from getting away with his toxic mandate. You know what will, though? People power.

That’s why we’re asking you to stand up for the southwest Memphis community with us by making phone calls to residents, asking them if they’re familiar with what’s happening with Musk’s AI data center, and directing them to take action.

Join the phone bank to #StopToxicTech

Phone banking might be new for you, so we’ve prepared a list of common questions asked before joining an action like this!

Will I have a script for these calls?
Absolutely! The script is short, to the point, and instructs you on how to reply to common responses we get while making these calls. 

What makes a good phone banking volunteer?
Enthusiasm, humility, and a desire to help create a more just world. You don’t have to know all of the answers to questions you may receive; you can always follow up with the person you’re speaking with or direct them to our staff. Pro tip: remember to literally “smile while you dial” — you’ll be surprised by how much easier the calls will feel.

When am I expected to make these phone calls?
That is up to you and your availability; you can make as many calls as you’d like to, on your own time! (Just remember that Memphis is on Central Standard Time, so plan accordingly!)

How does this make a difference on the campaign?
Movements for environmental justice against big, powerful corporations have the best chances of success when a critical mass of the population gets involved. By joining these efforts, you will be helping educate and mobilize everyday people who may or may not be aware of what’s quietly been happening in their community — all without their input.

I’m ready to make some calls!

After you sign up, you’ll be sent instructions on how to use the phone banking tool, and a Dream.Org staff member will be in touch with you.

Let’s do this.
