On July 9, 2016, join us to stop oil trains in Chicago!

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.

In 2016, we will demonstrate the power of our movement with 100 events across the US and Canada to #StopOilTrains and show that clean, safe energy is 100% Possible right now.

Let's #StopOilTrains together and show that clean, safe energy is 100% Possible right now! Join our event on July 9.

Please arrive by 9:45am! - Look for yellow school bus at Cermak & Peoria. Ample street parking; or near bus stops and Orange Line. Pack a lunch. $10 covers our cost of the bus.
