John,
We’re still figuring out the environmental + health impacts of the rail
disaster in East Palestine, OH (and another similar derailment in
Darlington Township, PA) — but the Senate is already working on action.
This month, John Fetterman joined a bipartisan group of senators to
introduce the Railway Safety Act of 2023. This bill would require more
notice to state emergency officials when trains are carrying hazardous
materials, mandate better crewing of freight trains, increase monitoring
of potential safety issues, and increase penalties in order to hold rail
carriers accountable.
Though this bill was introduced by 3 Democrats (including John 👋) and 3
Republicans, it’s still not guaranteed to pass. That’s why we’re coming to
you to ask:
[ [link removed] ]Can you add your name in support of the Railway Safety Act of 2023 to
urge Congress to send this important bill to the President’s desk ASAP?

Right now, years of deregulation have given a few huge rail carriers way
too much power, all while they cut corners and risk public safety to save
a few bucks.
Fighting back in favor of everyday PA residents is what John is in the
Senate to do. That’s why he joined on to this bill with 5 other senators
to make progress for PA families’ safety + the safety of people around the
country.
[ [link removed] ]If you agree that we need to prevent future rail disasters, add your
name and call on Congress to pass the Railway Safety Act of 2023.
Thank you!
— Team Fetterman 💛
