Hi everyone,
I am a full time graduate student and environmental activist who is doing work on raising awareness around the dangers of Crude by Rail.
On August 22nd Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington will be hosting a major conference for discussing crude by rail, sharing information, and discussing what can be done to stop this danger to our communities and environment. As is shown in the image above from the aftermath of the Lac-Megantic disaster in Quebec, the first of many such horrible tragedies, the danger this poses is very real.
That is why I am asking you to help me fund my travel expenses so I can attend and participate in the discussion and planning on what is to be done. The more help you can provide the better as this is an issue that effects us all. Not only are these bakken crude bomb trains a clear and present danger to the health and safety of all communities living near crude by rail routes, the burning of these incredibly dirty fuel sources is more than our already overstressed planet can take.
Please help me make it out to Olympia to make a difference!
