Amtrak is a vital public service that connects communities, supports union jobs, and provides a
cleaner, more sustainable way to travel. At a time of climate, economic, and infrastructure
challenges, expanding and protecting passenger rail is more important than ever.
The rally will call for a fully funded and expanded Amtrak network, reliable and affordable
service, clean trains, safe operations supported by union workers, and a strong federal
commitment to public transportation.
The rally will bring together train riders, rail workers, advocates, and community members to
demonstrate strong support for Amtrak.
