On July 12th , join us at Peddler to stop oil trains in Seattle!

On July 6, 2013, an oil train derailed and exploded in tragic Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, killing 47 people. This year the third annual Stop Oil Trains week of action will call attention to the threat of oil trains across North America, the people who are stopping them, and the need for 100% clean and safe energy.

Oil companies and government are making decisions on new oil train terminals at refineries across the country. But, wherever Big Oil tries to expand, communities across the US and Canada are  organizing, and winning. We’ve stopped new oil train terminals and fought to keep extreme oil in the ground -- for our health, our safety, and our climate.

Right now, Shell Oil wants to add an oil-by-rail facility, bringing 6 more oil trains/week and 60,000 barrels/day through Seattle. So we're gearing up the fight this summer to keep our city safe!

Learn more about this project and the dangers of oil-by-rail. City Councilmember Mike O'Brien will be speaking and appetizers will be provided. We need more beer and less oil!!
