Friend,

The lesson from East Palestine, Ohio is clear: the failure to properly
regulate rail companies had disastrous consequences on the lives of
Americans and the environment.

That’s why Representative Chris Deluzio and I have introduced the DERAIL
Act, legislation that would broaden the definition of a “high-hazard
flammable train” to enforce higher safety standards on our nation’s
railways.

The rail industry has fought to keep lax regulations that put workers and
communities at risk of toxic exposure and long-term ecological damage.
Norfolk Southern, the company which owned the train that derailed in East
Palestine, was found just three months ago [ [link removed] ]lobbying to resist
legislation requiring trains to have at least two crew members to address
emergencies. 

Companies like Norfolk Southern have been allowed to cut corners to rake
in profits, and we’re witnessing the results. Congress has a
responsibility to protect Americans feeling abandoned and invisible in the
wake of this harm and hold these companies accountable by strengthening
our nation’s rail safety standards.

[ [link removed] ]Sign if you agree: It’s time to make our railways safer.

Onward,
Ro
