Change.org Petition: Breaking news - Ohio train derailment

Breaking News Lawyers for East Palestine residents who are suing Norfolk Southern over the train derailment are claiming the company is trying to destroy evidence. Norfolk Southern plans to remove the derailed cars, and lawyers for the residents are asking a federal court judge to block the removal, saying the removal will destroy potential evidence that could demonstrate Norfolk Southern’s liability in the derailment. Over 45,000 people are demanding accountability from Norfolk Southern. You can join them by signing the petition now.

Evacuations. People and animals exposed to hazardous chemicals. Mounting cleanup costs. These are just a few of the reasons a community is in crisis after a tragic train derailment.  A Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous materials, some known to cause cancer, derailed on Feb. 3rd in the town of East Palestine, Ohio. Weeks later, the situation seems to only be growing more dire. The EPA has demanded Norfolk Southern pay for cleanup costs, residents are flooding health centers with reports of illness, and people report animals getting sick and even dying.  The people impacted and American taxpayers could bear the costs for years to come. That is why it is imperative Norfolk Southern commits to paying 100% of the costs associated with the derailment. Add your name if you believe Norfolk Southern, not the victims or taxpayers, should pay for the cleanup, healthcares, and all other damages associated with the derailment.
