Join speakers from Lac-Mégantic and the East Palestine areas, first responders, rail workers, legislators, community advocates, and the Solidarity Singers as we rally to support preventative measures to enhance rail safety in New Jersey.

Mark the 10th Anniversary of the Tragedy of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, when a train carrying volatile Bakken crude oil derailed and exploded like a bomb, killing 47 children and adults, and destroyed the downtown.

Call for the passage of A5606, new Rail Safety legislation for New Jersey, because trains carrying petroleum, vinyl chloride and other hazardous materials travel through towns, cities and rural communities here in New Jersey, putting us at great risk.
