With recent delays on decisions in SLO and Benicia, now is a more critical time than ever to demonstrate the power of our movement here in California to stop oil trains and keep extreme oil in the ground.

Last year, we had 12 amazing actions that drew over 2,000 people all across the state. Can we make that happen again???

Here’s a challenge: respond now and let everyone else know what you’re planning in your community. The first group to get an action up on the map at stopoiltrains.org gets beer from me!

Excited to make this happen together!

Despite the threat of explosions and toxic air pollution, oil trains continue to pass through our cities and towns, by schools and stadiums, and over our drinking water sources. People have the right to know where and when these trains are running — and they have the right to say no.

This July 6-12th — for the 3rd year in a row — over 100 communities are taking the fight to #stopoiltrains to the federal and state government, and to the rail and oil industries. 

With only 7 weeks until the #StopOilTrains Week of Action, here’s how to make this year the best year yet!
