The East Palestine, Ohio freight rail disaster shows just how dangerous our under-regulated rail industry has become.

Years of lax oversight, anti-labor practices, and stock buybacks have turned the rail industry – a pivotal part of the American economy – into a threat to our environment, our prosperity, and our safety.

The rail industry is not only neglecting our safety, they’re also slashing jobs, reducing service, raising rates, and instead “investing” their massive profits back into dividends and stock buybacks in order to boost their own value.

Sign here: Demand a federal investigation into the rail industry’s dangerous practice of putting profits ahead of safety, workers, the environment, and our economy.
