97. Testify against oil trains in Lynnwood 10/19

They will decide the future of oil trains through Seattle, and they want to hear from you.

Leaders from the state Department of Ecology and Skagit County will hold a public hearing on Shell’s oil train proposal on October 19. Shell wants to ship 2.5 million gallons of Brakken crude oil by train every week to its refinery in Anacortes. These six mile-long trains would travel along the Columbia River, through Vancouver, and up through Seattle to Anacortes, increasing the potential for a heartbreaking crash that takes lives and destroys our environment.

Fuse members across the state are speaking out in droves against Shell’s dirty, dangerous oil train proposal. More than 1,700 Fuse members have already submitted written comments against the proposal. Now we have a chance to speak directly to oversight officials and tell them it’s time to reject fossil fuel in favor of a clean energy economy.

We need a huge turnout in Lynnwood to show decision makers that we reject Shell’s dangerous proposal. Will you join Fuse members on October 19 to speak out against oil trains?

We rejected coal export terminals, we fought Shell’s attempt to drill in the Arctic, and now it is time to stop the increasing number of dirty, dangerous oil trains from traveling through our communities.

An increase in dirty and dangerous oil trains, pipelines, and tankers in Puget Sound would dramatically increase the risk of a spill or explosion in the Northwest. It’s time to tell our leaders to put people ahead of profits and reject the increase in oil trains through our communities.

Will you join Fuse members in Lynnwood to speak out against dirty, dangerous oil trains?
