Why We Rally
Millions of Americans rely on Amtrak to visit family, commute to work, or travel affordably across the country. Yet decades of underfunding, corporate freight interference, and policy neglect have kept our national rail system from reaching its full potential.
We believe in:
Reliable, on-time trains
More frequent and affordable service
A fully funded national rail network
Clean, safe trains maintained by union workers
Strong labor rights and job protections
A public system that serves the public—always

Because It Works
From Vermont to California, states that have invested in passenger rail have seen ridership grow and communities thrive. Funding Amtrak means:
Good-paying union jobs
Less traffic and pollution
Safer, more sustainable travel
Equity and freedom to move
Let’s rally together—for better trains, stronger communities, and a rail system that works for all of us.
