John, The train derailment in Ohio, where toxic chemicals are spewing into the air and water, was preventable and is the latest example of the horrific pain caused by corporate greed and corporate control of our media and political system. Norfolk-Southern, the company responsible for the spill, has silenced whistleblowers, refused to take basic safety measures, slashed staffing to a bare minimum, denied their workers the dignity of sick days, and even authorized a $10 billion stock buyback giveaway to shareholders while neglecting to do desperately needed maintenance. Of course, it's not the billionaire shareholders, but working families facing the horrific consequences of their failure — and Norfolk Southern can count on a complicit corporate media primarily owned by the same banks to shield them from meaningful consequences. That's why Our Revolution is standing up to corporate greed, standing with workers, and supporting progressive candidates who aren’t owned by big money. Pitch in here to help us hold bad corporate actors accountable!

This train derailment is a symptom of a larger problem tearing our country apart. Amazon and Starbucks continue to violate labor laws with despicable union-busting tactics, and big pharma causes thousands of deaths each year through price-gouging. The wealth and political inequality has gotten so bad that Republicans, the party that calls itself "pro-life" and "pro-children," have introduced a plan to bring back child labor in dangerous industries. We need our Representatives and Government officials in DC to be a xxxxxx against corporate greed. If they aren't up to the job, we WILL replace them. Our movement is in the battle against the corporate capture that is putting profits over everything else, including workers, public safety, and the environment. Can we count on you to pitch in here to help us fight back? When we organize, we win. Our Revolution
