John, After the catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio, it’s clear to anyone paying attention that rail companies must be appropriately regulated. Failure to enforce basic environmental and safety protections causes unnecessary pain for Americans and wreaks havoc on our communities and environment. That’s why progressive leader Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Chris Deluzio have introduced a new plan called the DERAIL Act. Our Revolution is proud to support this legislation to enforce higher safety standards on the railways.
Stand against corporate greed in the rail industry by signing on in support of the DERAIL Act!
The rail industry has used its economic power to exploit its workforce, deny sick days, and furiously lobby to keep inadequate regulations, putting workers and communities at risk of toxic exposure and long-term ecological damage. The company responsible for the East Palestine catastrophe, Norfolk Southern, was caught lobbying just three months ago against a bill that would have required trains to have at least two crew members in case of emergencies. Enough is enough; it’s time to take action to protect our safety. Add your Name if you agree that rail companies must put our safety ahead of their shareholder profits! When we organize, we win. Our Revolution
