Friends,

This is a request for your help, because we really need it. Please read the whole thing - it is important.

Corporate media wants to move on from the Ohio rail disaster, since legislative action doesn’t drive ad revenue through rage clicks. But this is the most important time to pay attention – and keep the pressure on.

The Lever has been attacked for shaming politicians into taking rail safety seriously - and we were widely credited with forcing lawmakers to introduce rail safety legislation. However, as we reported last week, the Republican senator blocking the bill was literally a lobbyist for the rail industry, and the Biden administration has been dragging its feet on new rules.

So as a non-corporate reader-supported news outlet, we need your help to shame these politicians into following through. PLEASE: Join this fight by becoming a paid supporting subscriber with the major discount below.
