On Saturday, July 11,2015, join us to stop oil trains in Sacramento!

Sacramento's downtown is in the explosion radius, and the Capitol for the State of California is in the 1 mile evacuation zone. 

Join us along a route from the Railroad station to the Capitol to illustrate that destructive impact of an oil train explosion in Sacramento. Wear Red, Orange or Yellow shirt, and we will give you a location to stand which will, along with hundreds of other activists illustrate the impact of an oil train explosion - let's send a message to California legislators that oil trains must be stopped! Together we will make a 1 mile chain between the rail lines and the capitol. 

On July 6, 2013, an oil train exploded in Lac Megantic, Quebec, killing 47 people. Two years later, and big oil is pushing harder than ever to move more and more oil trains through North America, while oil trains keep exploding, and carbon emissions keep rising.

This May, the US Department of Transportation is set to release new rail safety regulations. While an oil train erupted in flames in Galena, IL, lobbyists for big oil met with Federal regulators pressuring them to weaken these proposed rules. We know that these rules will not protect the 25 million Americans who live in the oil train blast zone, because there is NO safe way to transport extreme tar sands and Bakken crude.

This year, from July 6-12, 2015, citizens will organize more than 100 events across the US and Canada to demand an immediate ban on oil trains.

No more exploding trains. No more tar sands. Join our event on July 11, 2015.
