Calling for an immediate moratorium on crude-by-rail now.

Join the Week of Action!

Friends,

Today marks the second anniversary of the tragic oil train catastrophe that killed 47 people in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. 

Since then, over a dozen oil trains have derailed, but little has been done to stop the danger they pose.

This needs to stop. Now.

And people across North America agree. They are gathering in their communities all week long to help put a stop to oil trains and you should join them — click here to find an event near you.

Crude-by-rail has been expanding at a blistering pace over the past couple years, but government regulations have failed to keep up. According to our analysis, there are as much as a million barrels of oil per day crisscrossing the continent by rail and, if expansion were to continue, there could be even more in the coming years.

Oil train explosions are what a ‘All of the Above’ energy policy based on increased oil drilling looks like. And the safety of our climate and communities are at risk. That’s why we’re calling for an immediate moratorium on crude-by-rail now.

Last year thousands gathered at over 60 events for the first Stop Oil Trains Week of Action. Help make this year even bigger by joining an event near you, and bringing your family and friends.

It’s up to us to put a stop to this.
