To All Unions, Locals, Lodges, Divisions, Worker Organizations, Environmental Groups, Rail Advocates, Transportation Justice Organizers & Allies:
The U.S. rail system has suffered from corporate mismanagement and Wall Street-driven decay for decades. It’s time for a bold alternative: public ownership of our nation’s railroads. Public Rail Now is organizing to reclaim our rail system as a publicly owned and democratically controlled asset—one that serves workers, communities, and the climate, not corporate profit.
We urge your organization to take a stand. Pass a resolution or issue a statement in support of public rail ownership and join the growing movement demanding a transportation system that works for all of us. Unions like United Electrical (UE) and labor councils like the Northern Nevada Central Labor Council have already stepped up—your organization can be next. Canada’s largest private sector union, Unifor, has endorsed the campaign.
Submit your statement of support using the form below. Let’s build the power we need to take back our railroads and put them to work for the public good!
