Please join Solutionary Rail next Monday for an Update:

From Restoring Rural Short Lines to Nationalizing Main Lines – the Quest for Rail in the Public Interest

Monday, October 24

Noon Pacific / 2pm Central / 3pm Eastern

RSVP HERE to get the Zoom Link

We look forward to circling up with you to share updates and to welcome back our allies with Railroad Workers United.

Hopefully, you’ve taken action via our Railroad Workers Solidarity page. Come December, the rail strike that was delayed but not defeated promises the return of our nation’s attention.

Along with it are fresh calls for a long term solution rather than half measures. RWU’s steering committee unanimously passed a Resolution calling for the nationalization of US railroads. This call seems far less far-fetched than when Solutionary Rail launched in late 2016. In fact, it is simply unreasonable to believe that a better contract for rail workers will be enough to reform the predatory practices of US Class 1s in service of hedge funds rather than the US public.

Before we hear from our RWU guests, we’ll give a short update on the important work SR is doing in the Pacific Northwest and we’ll hear some reports from the SR Hive.

Amy and I hope you will join this important gathering. The tides are changing, but nothing changes for the better without vision and the people power to realize it.

In solidarity & gratitude,
Bill Moyer

SR HQ

PS Don’t forget to RSVP for Monday’s call and plan to join us at Noon Pacific.
